Why is it that when you send bitcoin, a portion of it appears to have gone back to another address of your own in the block explorer?
Every time an Ethereum externally owned account sends a transaction, its nonce increases by 1. Transactions must be processed in nonce order, and each nonce can only be used once.
Key takeaway: Using the same Bitcoin address to receive payments every time can expose your transaction history. Many wallets generate a new address for each payment and for change by default.
$BTC uses the UTXO model, so the balance shown in a wallet is actually the sum of many unspent outputs.
Understanding how it works can help you avoid some pitfalls, but it’s no substitute for risk management.
