To ensure that their transaction is prioritized and included in a block by miners, the sender must attach a transaction fee. This fee is paid to miners as an incentive to process and verify the transaction.

The transaction, now containing the sender's address, recipient's address, the amount of Bitcoin, and the transaction fee, is broadcast to the Bitcoin network. Here, it awaits validation by miners who solve complex mathematical puzzles to secure the network.

The process of initiating a Bitcoin transaction begins with the sender accessing their digital wallet. This secure storage facility holds the sender's private keys, allowing them to authorize the transfer of funds.

Once the sender decides to send Bitcoin, they input the necessary details into their wallet software. This includes specifying the recipient's address, which is essentially their public key on the blockchain.

Alongside the recipient's address, the sender must also indicate the amount of Bitcoin they wish to send. This amount is measured in Satoshis, the smallest unit of Bitcoin, ensuring precision in transactions.
