How Bitcoin Keeps Your Money Safe — and When It Might Not
Bitcoin uses a public chain called the blockchain to track every payment, so same coin can't be spent twice.
Miners add new blocks using lots of computer work, and that gives the network its basic security.
But if someone controls enough mining power, they can try to rewrite recent steps and do a double-spending trick.
The chance of that working is mostly about math and luck, not magic, and it falls quickly as more confirmations pile up.
We looked at how often these attacks might win, and found small changes in mining share can change risk a lot, faster than many expect.
For everyday buys it's rare to be affected, waiting a few confirmations usually enough, yet big payments need extra care or checks.
The story shows why decentralization matters, and why keeping the network wide and honest helps protect your coins.
Bitcoin is clever, but not perfect, and the numbers behind it tell when to trust and when to pause.
