  Sure! When a Bitcoin transaction is initiated, it is broadcasted to all the nodes in the network. These nodes then validate the transaction by checking if the sender has enough funds and if the transaction follows the rules of the Bitcoin protocol. Once validated, the transaction is added to a pool of unconfirmed transactions called the mempool. Miners then select transactions from the mempool and include them in a block. The block is then added to the Bitcoin blockchain through a process called mining. This ensures that the transaction is permanently recorded and cannot be tampered with. The security of the Bitcoin network is maintained through the use of cryptographic algorithms and the decentralized nature of the blockchain.

  The Bitcoin network handles transactions through a decentralized system called blockchain. When a transaction is made, it is verified by multiple nodes in the network to ensure its validity. Once verified, the transaction is added to a block along with other transactions. Miners then compete to solve a complex mathematical puzzle to add the block to the blockchain. This process, known as mining, not only secures the network but also incentivizes miners with newly minted Bitcoins. This decentralized and transparent system ensures the integrity and security of Bitcoin transactions.

  The Bitcoin network handles transactions by utilizing a peer-to-peer network of computers called nodes. When a transaction is made, it is broadcasted to these nodes, which then validate the transaction by checking the digital signatures and confirming that the sender has sufficient funds. Once validated, the transaction is added to the mempool, where it waits to be included in a block. Miners, who are responsible for adding new blocks to the blockchain, select transactions from the mempool and include them in a block. This block is then added to the blockchain through a process called mining. The decentralized nature of the Bitcoin network ensures that transactions are processed in a secure and transparent manner.
