I'm exploring the characteristics of
Bitcoin and its underlying technology. I'm particularly interested in whether Bitcoin can be classified as a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) system. Can someone clarify if Bitcoin falls under this category?

This tolerance stems from the ability of every node within the network to independently verify every transaction and block.

In the event that a node attempts to broadcast invalid blocks or transactions, the system is designed to recognize such anomalies.

Specifically, all other nodes in the network will detect and reject these invalid entries.
