Bitcoin is digital money w ith no bank behind it. Instead, thousands of computers keep one shared ledger, the blockchain, and every transaction goes into it. Only 21 million coins will ever exist. Worth remembering before any Bitcoin Long Term Storage plan. Nobody has a Bitcoin “account.” What people have is keys. The private key is what lets someone spend. The public address is just a place to receive, like a mailbox. Lose the private key without a backup and the coins are stuck for good, which is why Bitcoin Long Term Storage is really about protecting it. Confirmed payments can’t be undone. More on how Bitcoin works sits on the official site. The trade is simple: total control comes with total responsibility. Buying Bitcoin takes minutes.
