Gossip

      Within the Context of cryptocurrency and blockchain “Gossiping” is the form of communication that is used to transfer messages between network nodes.

     The Bitcoin network is built of an aggregation of technologies that are eloquently layered to allow for a decentralized monetary network to exist. One of the technologies that a network is built of is communication technologies. Crypto-networks, such as Bitcoin, need the nodes on the network to communicate the transactions / activity that happens on the network between one another. This communication protocol is called Gossiping. 

     The term “gossip” was derived from its linguistic aptitude, gossip spreads fast, it is heard by multiple parties at once, and you dont need to tell everyone the same thing becuase others will tell them for you.
