Being a new member of the forum, I need more information on how coin base transactions operate and how they vary from regular bitcoin transactions.
A difference is that coins that have been received in a coinbase transaction can't be spent until 100 more blocks are mined.
Regular transactions have inputs and outputs, but coinbase transaction does not have any inputs and are basically created out of thin air.
The newly generated coins aren't created out of the thin air. Miners work for them.
The bitcoins involved are higher valued cause they are newly minted and have never been involved in any other transaction prior to that.
No. There is no difference between the value of newly generated coins and value of other coins.
When you want to sell your bitcoin, no one will ask you whether you have mined them or you have purchased them.
