OK I can follow some of this but some of this is just too theoretical. The math and theory behind dual signatures....naaa. But I do understand some of the basis of mining, network consensus, hash totals, creation of the next block in the chain, the slow growth but ultimately limited supply, private keys, wallets, exchanges and much more. So Bitcoin is both a store of value (like gold) and a method of payment (like cash), just better. Let me think about this a bit more and do some more research. Bitcoin.org has some helpful stuff.....it is reliable?
