Bitcoin Address
Also known as a Public Key. You can think of a bitcoin address like an email address; it’s the public identifier where people can send and receive bitcoin like an email address sends and receives emails.
This is an identifier of about 27-34 alphanumeric symbols or known as a 160-bit hash in technical terminology. A good Bitcoin wallet will use multiple addresses to receive Bitcoin transactions to maintain user anonymity.
