  The process for verifying a bitcoin transaction involves several steps. First, the transaction is broadcasted to the network and added to the mempool, where it waits to be included in a block. Miners then compete to solve a mathematical puzzle called proof-of-work. Once a miner solves the puzzle, they add the block to the blockchain, which includes the verified transaction. This process ensures that the transaction is valid and prevents double-spending. The purpose of verification is to maintain the integrity and security of the bitcoin network.

  Verifying a bitcoin transaction is a crucial step in ensuring the legitimacy of the transaction. It involves a decentralized network of miners who compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles. The first miner to solve the puzzle adds the block to the blockchain, which contains the verified transaction. This process prevents fraud and double-spending, making bitcoin a secure and reliable digital currency.
