    Instead of storing actual coins, a distributed public database keeps record of all timestamped and confirmed transactions between bitcoin addresses. For the transactions to enter this public ledger the signed transactions need to be broadcasted, validated and accepted by the bitcoin network, to avoid any incongruence and double spending.
    Bitcoins only exist as balances associated with bitcoin addresses as a result of previous transactions in the sense that you can trace the chain of valid transactions until you reach a special transaction called "coinbase", i.e. some minted bitcoins that enter circulation as scheduled.
    To allow value to be split and combined, transactions contain multiple inputs and outputs.
    The output values of previous transactions will be referenced as input values of future ones.
    Previous transaction outputs are referenced as new transaction inputs and transactions simply allocate funds to a new owner that can then spend them in a new transaction.
    There are no coins. Bitcoins actually do not exist!!!
