Could you clarify, is a block within the Bitcoin network synonymous with a Bitcoin itself? My understanding is that Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency, while a block is a data structure that holds transaction records within the blockchain. So, are they interchangeable terms, or are they distinct components of the Bitcoin system? If they are distinct, could you elaborate on the role of blocks in the Bitcoin ecosystem and how they contribute to the overall functioning of the currency?
