Could you please elaborate on what Bitcoin Core and CTV are in the context of
cryptocurrency and finance? Bitcoin Core, I understand, is often referenced as the open-source software that enables the Bitcoin network, but I'm curious to know how it specifically functions and what role it plays. And by CTV, I assume you're referring to Confidential Transactions with Value Shields? If so, could you explain how this technology works and how it aims to enhance privacy and security within the Bitcoin ecosystem? Additionally, how do these two components interact, if at all, and how do they contribute to the overall evolution of cryptocurrency?
