@ -78,7 +78,7 @@ As with real life, the bitcoin application can use several strategies to satisfy
A transaction consumes previously recorded unspent transaction outputs and creates new transaction outputs that can be consumed by a future transaction. This way, chunks of bitcoin value move forward from owner to owner in a chain of transactions consuming and creating UTXO.
The exception to the output and input chain is a special type of transaction called the _coinbase_ transaction, which is the first transaction in each block. This transaction is placed there by the "winning" miner and creates brand-new bitcoin payable to that miner as a reward for mining. This special coinbase transaction does not consume UTXO; instead it has a special type of input called the "coinbase." This is how bitcoin's money supply is created during the mining process, as we will see in <<bitcoin_network_ch08>>.
