<p>You have to think about it simply, its exchange service lets consider that they're exchanging potatoes for tomato instead of Bitcoin for money.</p>

<p>you've bought 50 kilos of potatoes from a farmer, a customer gave you 2 kilos of tomato for 1 kilo of potatoes and go on, the farmer here is mining pools which is the main source of bitcoins. </p>
