Bitcoin solves the Byzantine generals problem, a theoretical computer science dilemma in which nodes in a distributed network must come to a consensus without relying on trust or centralized control. Bitcoin's decentralized blockchain ledger enables every node (known as miners) to have access to a shared transaction record, eliminating the need for intermediaries like banks who may not always act in good faith. By using complex algorithms and incentivizing honest behavior, the trustless nature of Bitcoin's network ensures that all participants can come to an agreement on transactions without worrying about malicious actors attempting to undermine it.#bitcoin #Byzantinegeneralsproblem
