So, let me ask you, how exactly do these bitcoins work? I mean, I've heard they're digital currency, but how does the whole system actually function? How are transactions verified? And what's the deal with mining? I'm curious to know how all the pieces fit together to make this decentralized, peer-to-peer system work. Can you explain it to me in a way that's easy to understand?
