Is Bitcoin Core the Same as Bitcoin?

Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It is the most popular and used software for managing Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Core is programmed to decide which block chain contains valid transactions. The users of Bitcoin Core only accept transactions for that block chain, making it the Bitcoin block chain that everyone else wants to use.

NOTE: WARNING: Bitcoin Core is not the same as Bitcoin. Bitcoin Core is an open source software program used to access and use the Bitcoin blockchain, while Bitcoin is a digital currency that can be used to buy and sell goods or services. While both rely on blockchain technology, they are not interchangeable. Be sure to understand the difference between Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin before investing or using either.

For the latest version of Bitcoin Core, miners create a new block chain containing only themselves and the genesis block.

Bitcoin Core has several improvements over the original client including support for multiple wallets, better security and privacy features, and improved performance.
