Could you elaborate on the concept of a Bitcoin block? I'm curious to understand its significance within the Bitcoin network. As I understand, blocks are integral to the blockchain technology, but I'm not entirely clear on their specific role and function. Would you be able to break down what constitutes a Bitcoin block, its structure, and how it contributes to the overall security and functionality of the Bitcoin system? Additionally, I'm interested in knowing how blocks are created and how they are interconnected to form the blockchain. Thank you for your insight.
