I've spent some time analyzing Bitcoin transaction data and found out that the input column has this value called "spent_transaction_hash". In the dataset, the definition of this value is "the hash of the transaction which contains the output that this input spends".
I wonder if I can use this value to trace previous transactions. For example, let's say I have this Bitcoin transaction data:
Hash Input Output Spent_transaction_hash
1234 1 3 5678
5678 2 1 8910
Since spent_transaction_hash means the hash of the transactions whose output was the input to the current transaction, is it safe to say the second transaction(hash: 5678) was the previous transaction of the current transaction (1234) and they are connected?
Thank you.
