Censorship resistance in relation to Bitcoin refers to the ability of the Bitcoin network to remain operational and transactions to be processed without being subject to censorship or control by any single entity, such as governments or financial institutions. This means that no one can prevent users from sending or receiving Bitcoin transactions, even if they disagree with the content or purpose of those transactions. Bitcoin achieves censorship resistance through its decentralized network structure, where transactions are verified by a large number of participants (miners) and recorded on the blockchain, making it difficult for any single entity to manipulate or block transactions.
