Could you please elaborate on the concept of the Bitcoin protocol in simple terms? I'm curious to understand how it works at its core. Is it simply a set of rules that govern how transactions are verified and recorded on the Bitcoin network? Or does it encompass more, such as the mechanisms that ensure security and prevent double-spending? Additionally, how does the Bitcoin protocol ensure consensus among participants on the network, and how does it maintain the integrity of the ledger? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
