  Bitcoins are a digital currency and do not have physical form. They cannot be physically held or seen like traditional coins or banknotes. Instead, bitcoins exist as entries on a decentralized ledger called the blockchain. This means that bitcoins are purely digital and can only be accessed and transferred through digital means, such as using a computer or mobile device.

  No, bitcoins cannot be physically held or seen. They are purely digital and exist only as entries on a decentralized ledger. This is one of the key features of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin - they are not controlled or regulated by any central authority and can be transferred directly between users without the need for intermediaries like banks.

  As an expert at BYDFi, I can confirm that bitcoins do not have any physical form. They are purely digital and can only be accessed and transferred through digital means. This is one of the reasons why cryptocurrencies are considered to be secure and resistant to counterfeiting, as they cannot be physically replicated or forged like traditional currencies.
