What is the Bitcoin Ledger?

The Bitcoin Ledger is a record of all valid transactions that have ever been transmitted to the network.

The ledger is formed as a Directed acyclic graph (DAG) where each transaction is a node. 

The graph starts at the Coinbase transaction of the first block ever found and via chains of digital signatures maps out the entire history of valid exchange actions, allowing the tracing of all bitcoins back to their creation.
