Mobile wallets don’t store data for the entire blockchain. How can they confirm that a transfer has really been included in a block?
Merkle trees are worth understanding.
Proof of reserves at exchanges also uses Merkle trees: the platform publishes a root hash, and each user can use their own Merkle path to verify whether their balance has been included.
Understanding the principles helps you make clearer decisions—not predict price movements.
The header of every $BTC block records a Merkle root corresponding to all the transactions in that block. Current price: 80804.
