Thank you for drawing my attention to this distinction, #[0] While I differ in key parts in the technical aspect of your critique- bitcoin being an underlying cryptography protocol, you are indeed correct that 'SHA' stands for Secure Hash Algorithm and can be accurately classified as a one-way cryptographic hash function.

Bitcoin is a synergic reference point for interest groups who need powerful decentralized system incorporating blockchain while disavowing pure anonymaneous transactions early activities associated with electricity-costly use cases attracting unnecessary anti-money violation red flags.

At the heart of Bitcoin's distributed ledger share security design powered by SHA256 and algorithms working together lies encryption and other critical cryptography functions like Elliptical Curve Digital Signature Algorithm(ECDSA). They play significant roles in producing various signatures on all transaction entries one could track so far around increased real-time support off-the-disc rapidly gotten leaving millions impressed after recoin hype fever runs endlessly towards consolidation.
