  A bitcoin private key is a 256-bit number that is randomly generated. It is represented as a string of alphanumeric characters, usually starting with '5' or 'K' or 'L'. The private key is used to sign transactions and prove ownership of bitcoin. It is important to keep the private key secure and never share it with anyone.
