A script designed to generate and validate Bitcoin wallets, specifically for testing purposes on the Bitcoin testnet. This script allows you to create wallets, obtain their details (mnemonic, address, and private key), and test transactions in a secure, sandboxed environment without using real Bitcoin.

mnemonic: The mnemonic phrase is like a master password for your bitcoin vault. It is a set of random words that serves as a backup for your digital wallet. Imagine it as a piece of paper with tips for remembering a very complicated password.
address: Blockchain Wallet Address
privateKey: The private key is the secret password that gives you access to your cryptocurrency funds. Imagine it as the key to a digital safe that stores your virtual money.
To test transactions, use a Bitcoin faucet to send small amounts of cryptocurrency to your generated wallet on the Bitcoin testnet. This allows you to experiment without using real Bitcoin. Access the faucet at the link below: bitcoinfaucet
