Hello everyone Being in this forum and reading through the various conversations there made me very happy. I can see a lot of discussions about investing in bitcoin and the current bear market. A lot of people are making comments about the bear market, which was brought on by the crashes of some coins like FTX and Luna. I'm curious as to what sets Bitcoin apart from these other coins. Considering that it's been said that Bitcoin won't be impacted and will continue to grow, what are the key difference between the two Bitcoin and other coins?

The second is about Bitcoin mining; what is the difference between investing in bitcoin and mining bitcoin, or are they interchangeable? If you do not wish to purchase, will you mine your own Bitcoin?
Please accept my apologies if the question appears unclear; I am very confused, which is why I ask. Thank you very much.

When I was attempting to get into Bitcoin, I came across the term blockchain. It's difficult for me to understand the precise function and meaning of blockchain technology after searching for it on the Chrome browser, which is why I'm here.
I'm new to this forum and this is my first post asking for information about blockchain. Could someone please provide me with a detailed explanation of how blockchain functions?
