Hey guyz
I am complete noob in crypto. I need to know what is a blockchain? How to use it and what if it goes offline? What affects it will occur on bitcoin.

I have tried understanding it but it looks very complex There may be a simpler way to understand it guys

Thanks for the help

Essentially, it's a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography. It would take a huge amount of computing power to override the entire network.

Bitcoin is a blockchain, but blockchain is not Bitcoin. Blockchain is Bitcoin's underlying technology. A blockchain is a distributed database placed in a non-secure environment that uses cryptographic methods to ensure that existing data cannot be tampered with. And consensus algorithms are used to reach consensus on new data.

In a nutshell, the blockchain is a general ledger that records all historical transactions. Each block contains several transaction records. If the blockchain is a book, then the block is every page of the book. The details of the transaction are recorded on a public account that can be seen by anyone on the network.

A blockchain is a distributed database (system) placed in a non-secure environment.

The blockchain uses cryptographic methods to ensure that existing data cannot be tampered with.

The blockchain uses consensus algorithms to reach consensus on new data.

The system with the above three properties is the blockchain.

To say that blockchain can't avoid Bitcoin, of course, the reason why Bitcoin needs to be talked about: The first reason is that with blockchain technology being born with Bitcoin, it can be said that without Bitcoin, blockchain technology may be much later. Many years may or may not happen. Second, Bitcoin is the most successful and most mature example of industrialization of blockchain technology. Of course, it is not suitable for all scenarios because it is only a digital currency type. Public chain. Because it is the earliest and most mature digital currency public chain, it is likely to play the role of Internet basic currency in the future.

First of all, welcome here in the forum. Since you are a Newbie and it seems like you really don't have any idea what world you are entering. I suggest you to make research first so that you can be able to explore and gain knowledge for what is this "Crypto world" all about. You should conduct research for basic informations before you fully participate here. You know, some members here really hate "spoon feeding" Members/Newbies that always ask and didn't even can spend some time to make research by themselves. But I'm not scaring you, and please no offence, I'm always willing to help Newbies and I'm giving you some tips. You should also visit the Beginners&Help Section. Here is the link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0

About your question "What is blockchain".
Well according to Wikipedia, "blockchain" originally is from the word "block" and "chain" (obviously), is a continuously growing list of records which is called "blocks" which are linked and secured using cryptography. Blockchain was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto (the creator of BTCitcoin) back in 2008 for use in the cryptocurrency bitcoin, as its public transaction ledger.

Blockchain is a distributed database. Essentially, blockchain is a trust mechanism that is reconstructed using distributed technologies and consensus algorithms. The blockchain can be simply understood as a transaction book maintained by all participants. The disclosure of the account information enables all participants to verify the correctness of the transaction and the billing together, making the account book's ability to prevent malicious tampering. All participants can trust the carrier.

Take Bitcoin's blockchain as an example. You can think of a blockchain as a Bitcoin public ledger. This account:
1. Stored on each Bitcoin node of the Internet, each node has a complete backup
2. It records all Bitcoin transfer transactions since the birth of Bitcoin.
3. The ledger is stored in partitioned blocks, each containing a portion of transaction records. Each block will record the id of the previous block, forming a chain structure, hence the blockchain
4. When you want to initiate a bitcoin transaction, simply broadcast the transaction information to the p2p network. The miner records your transaction information as a new block to the blockchain and the transaction is completed.

The blockchain is perhaps the main technological innovation of Bitcoin. Bitcoin isn’t regulated by a central authority. Instead, its users dictate and validate transactions when one person pays another for goods or services, eliminating the need for a third party to process or store payments. The completed transaction is publicly recorded into blocks and eventually into the blockchain, where it’s verified and relayed by other Bitcoin users. On average, a new block is appended to the blockchain every 10 minutes, through mining.

Blockchain is a system that does not use such third parties. In essence, records of transactions that have occurred, stored by many computers scattered in the network itself. So it would be harder to hack a system of hundreds or thousands of computers, and chances are small for all of those computers to be interrupted at the same time.

So if you for example pay for your coffee using Bitcoin (one of cryptocurrency), Bitcoin for the payment of the coffee is transferred from your Bitcoin address to your Bitcoin cafe address in peer-to-peer. And these transactions will be recorded on all the computers scattered in the Bitcoin network.

Also this haven't centralized version. Hence thin cannot have controlled by any single entity or single point failure. Publicly can access many people at the same time.it kind of a shared ledger. One of the main advantage is that Blockchain able to cut out the middleman from their transaction. Blockchain security methods use encryption technology. That are called public and private keys. Public key is a user address on the Blockchain and private key is the access key of their digital assets.

Blockchain is bitcoin’s underlying technology. A blockchain is a database that is distributed to be placed in a non-secure environment that existing data cannot be tampered with.  In the language of cryptocurrency, a block is a record of new transactions (that would mean the location of cryptocurrency, medical data or even voting records. Once each block is completed it’s added to the ever growing chain, creating a chain of blocks hence the term blockchain. Most blockchains are decentralized which means the miners that organize the block are not working as part of one institution.

Born in 2009, Blockchain technology was created to remodel the circulation scheme. By the way, transactions between A and B can occur without intermediaries, in a shorter time, cheaper, and even much more secure, than transactions offered by banks or other similar institutions.


How can?

Blockchain is simply an online global database-one that can be used anywhere in the world connected to the internet. Unlike other databases that are usually owned by certain institutions such as banks or governments, Blockchain does not belong to anyone. Make it more transparent because it can be accessed by anyone.

Like the parent ledger in the bank that records all customer transactions, Blockchain also records all transactions the user performs. It's just that, if the parent book only can be seen and checked by the authorities in the bank, then all transactions through Blockchain can be seen by all users. Because the Blockchain information warehouse is permanently stored throughout the network of its users, because the information collected is also distributed to everyone.

So how do data sets of people-unattended third-party institutions-could be a safer place? The key, is the number of Blockchain users. The more users, the more difficult it is to hack.

The transactions that occur will be recorded by the users' computers at once announced for verification. The transaction records are then combined with other transaction records, then tied-or chained-in chronology. Records of the transaction are then called blocks. And that barrage of blocks is called Blockchain.

A blockchain, originally block chain, is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography. Each block typically contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp and transaction data. By design, a blockchain is inherently resistant to modification of the data. It is "an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way". For use as a distributed ledger, a blockchain is typically managed by a peer-to-peer network collectively adhering to a protocol for inter-node communication and validating new blocks. Once recorded, the data in any given block cannot be altered retroactively without the alteration of all subsequent blocks, which requires collusion of the network majority.

Blockchains are secure by design and exemplify a distributed computing system with high Byzantine fault tolerance. Decentralized consensus has therefore been achieved with a blockchain. This makes blockchains potentially suitable for the recording of events, medical records, and other records management activities, such as identity management, transaction processing, documenting provenance, food traceability or voting.

Blockchain was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008 for use in the cryptocurrency bitcoin, as its public transaction ledger. The invention of the blockchain for bitcoin made it the first digital currency to solve the double-spending problem without the need of a trusted authority or central server.

Block is a special limitation to accommodate all transaction changes that occur during the chain process. chain is a unique chain record and is the path of all consistent stages of a transaction. Advantages Data delivery occurs instantly and efficiently. All transactions and data storage are secure because they are replicated across the blockchain network so that to change one data the hacker must also change the same data across all other user's computers at the same time.

A feature of a blockchain database is that is has a history of itself. Because of this, they are often called immutable. In other words, it would be a huge effort to change an entry in the database, because it would require changing all of the data that comes afterwards, on every single node. In this way, it is more a system of record than a database.  :) :)

Block chain is a new application mode of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies. The so-called consensus mechanism is a mathematical algorithm for building trust and obtaining equity between different nodes in the block chain system.

Blockchain was first implemented in 2009, and was revolutionized with Blockchain 2.0 in 2014. Blockchain technology consists of blocks that hold transactions, where each block is interconnected through cryptography, thus forming a network.

Along with the development of digital universe, cryptocurreny in the future has become an increasingly attractive proposition in the market and may not have traditional banking infrastructure. Some developing countries in the world have even implemented a Blockchain-based national currency, such as Bitcoin, and the technology is also used by several large charity projects to help those without bank accounts.

Blockchain also has the potential to be used outside the scope of digital currency, and attracts the interest of many traditional financial institutions to adopt.

In my knowledge, Blockchain is a list of ever-growing records and called as blocks. It is associated and secured using cryptography. Each block is usually contained in previous block cryptographic hash, timestamp and transaction data that have been made previously. By design, the blockchain is actually resistant to data modifications. It is open led logging and has the ability to record transactions between two parties agile in a verifiable and permanent way.

First of all, welcome here in the forum. Since you are a Newbie and it seems like you really don't have any idea what world you are entering. I suggest you to make research first so that you can be able to explore and gain knowledge for what is this "Crypto world" all about. You should conduct research for basic informations before you fully participate here. You know, some members here really hate "spoon feeding" Members/Newbies that always ask and didn't even can spend some time to make research by themselves. But I'm not scaring you, and please no offence, I'm always willing to help Newbies and I'm giving you some tips. You should also visit the Beginners&Help Section. Here is the link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0

About your question "What is blockchain".
Well according to Wikipedia, "blockchain" originally is from the word "block" and "chain" (obviously), is a continuously growing list of records which is called "blocks" which are linked and secured using cryptography. Blockchain was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto (the creator of BTCitcoin) back in 2008 for use in the cryptocurrency bitcoin, as its public transaction ledger.

Blockchain was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008 for use in the cryptocurrency bitcoin, as its public transaction ledger(like in accounting, used as a list of all transactions). The invention of the blockchain for bitcoin made it the first digital currency to solve the double-spending problem without the need of a trusted authority or central server. Block chain tells how, when and where bitcoin is used.

- Bitcoin is dependent on blockchain the underlies and structures the system. The blockchain is vertebrea of the protocol and the glue that holds the network together.
- A blockchain is a digitized, decentralized, public ledger of all cryptocurrency transactions. Constantly growing as ‘completed’ blocks (the most recent transactions) are recorded and added to it in chronological order, it allows market participants to keep track of digital currency transactions without central recordkeeping. Each node (a computer connected to the network) gets a copy of the blockchain, which is downloaded automatically.

Blockchain is improved and develped by Satoshi Nakamoto, it is the underlying technology of bitcoin. Basically each certain block is connected with one another each connected sides are encrypted called "hash" the hash is dependent to the previous hash so changing the other one will also affect the connected blocks which makes the blockchain tampered proof or impossible to hack, bitcoin uses this technology as a ledger, different computers around the world are making this technology works, when a computer makes a process it has to validate by all of the computers that connected to the network and if its validated it will be added to the blockchain

Blockchain is a public register in which transactions between two users belonging to the same network are stored in a secure, verifiable and permanent way. The data relating to the exchanges are saved inside cryptographic blocks, connected in a hierarchical manner to each other. This creates an endless chain of data blocks — hence the name blockchain — that allows you to trace and verify all the transactions you have ever made.

Blockchain (with mining) is a decentralised concensus system. In the real world I can give you something and you would own it. But on the internet this is not so easy - you could just copy the information and we'd both own it.

Bitcoin solves this problem by mining - a lot of energy is put in creating a "thread" of blocks (called the blockchain) that prevent you from creating false ownership.

It's a really boring form of digital gold.

Blockchain Technology is a buzzword used by companies who don't understand what it is. They think they can take the mining part and the decentral part out of it. You can, but you'd just get a plain old SQL/Oracle database.

Post by: StarLucas on May 15, 2018, 08:28:36 AM
A (bitcoin) blockchain is a database where you can rely on the records/entries to be legitimate since falsifying them is expensive and requires consensus. The older an a entry is, the more expensive it becomes to manipulate it.

In a traditional database, the records can be manipulated by the administrator of the database at will.

As you can imagine, for a currency system where no one should be in control, we can't use a traditional database where someone has admin access. We use a blockchain.

The “block” represents a number of transactional records, and the “chain” component links them all together with a hash function. As records are created, they are confirmed by a distributed network of computers and paired up with the previous entry in the chain, thereby creating a chain of blocks, or a blockchain.

blockchain uses a decentralized system that enables efficiency. When a person buys a bitcoin coin, a computer system connected to a blockchain network will record and provide validity automatically. So, minimal error, fast, cheaper and easier.

Blockchain takes advantage of consensus, a condition that is achieved when all participants in the network agree on the validity of a transaction by recording what is recorded by the computer in large data matching each other.

d.      Data (Transaction – related to Cryptocurrency)
e.      Digital Signatures
f.       Nonce (Proof of work )
g.      Hash

Advantages
a.      Double spending proof
b.      Decentralized System
c.      Peer-to-peer network
d.      Low or No Transaction Fees
e.      High security (cryptographic techniques)
f.       Maintain anonymity

Blockchain is, first of all, complete transparency and trust between all participants in the chain. Imagine that you can trace every dollar that you donated on your smartphone to the Red Cross, from the starting point to the end, to the specific person who was helped by your money. In this is the great strength of Blokchain technology.

If there is a Blockchain revolution, then we will move from Internet, where the monitoring, mediation and monetization of information and transactions in the network, to the Internet, motivated by a reduction in the cost of the generation, regulation and implementation of public and commercial agreements focusing on ethical, security, cooperation, inviolability of personal data in all transactions and in the creation and distribution of values. This is a reversal of the strategy by 180 degrees. The result can be the economy of equitable participants with institutions that will be truly distributed, barrier-free and giving new opportunities. The new platform fundamentally redefines what and how we can do online and who participates in it, and thus is even able to create technological conditions for solving the most pressing social and economic problems.
If this task can not be coped, then the promising technology of blockchain will be limited or even destroyed. Worse, it can turn into an instrument of powerful institutions by which they will protect their fortune, or, if it is accessed by the government, into a platform for a new society of total surveillance. Closely related technologies of distributed software, encryption, autonomous agents and even artificial intelligence can get out of control and turn against their creators.

Most of us use banks to make transactions. A blockchain will allow consumers and suppliers to connect directly, removing the need for a third party. Blockchain therefore, provides a decentralized database, or “digital ledger”, of transactions that everyone on the network can see. This network comprises of a chain of computers that must all approve an exchange before it can be verified or recorded.

as I know, Blockchain can make sure all transactions are done properly, recorded and stored securely, the history of the transactions is also publicly accessible.

  Blockchain (of bitcoin for example) is open database based on cryptography which may be seen and copied by anyone but may be created by miners with privat key owners only. It contains all done transactions, has huge amount of copies around the world so can not be deleted or subsituted
Its a digital ledger in which transaction made in bitcoin or another cryptocurrency are recorded chronologically and publicly.

Moreover, it was possible to carry out operations without interruption and without intermediary. People will be able to transfer data from one end to another without the need for any intermediary factor. The fees for these transactions are very low. It is also almost impossible to destroy stored and processed data.

The disclosure of the account information enables all participants to verify the correctness of the transaction and the billing together, making the account book's ability to prevent malicious tampering.

I think of it like the departures and arrivals board at stations or airports. Each one is updated at the same time with information which is kept on blocks (ledgers, as in like accounting), with new information constantly being added to the board. This info is logged by nodes (systems that hold their own copy of the the ledger) all with the same departures and arrivals board.

Now apply that crypto coins, and you will see how it works. If someone buys or sells a coin, all the nodes are notified, make a note of the transaction, and the ledger is updated. This information grows and grows into a chain - a continually growing one.

A blockchain network can either be public or private based on who is authorised to participate. The essential difference between a public and private blockchain is that one operates in a decentralised open environment where there are no restrictions on the number of people joining the network, while the other operates within the confines defined by a controlling entity. A simple analogy is the difference between the Internet and the intranet. While the inherent technology for networked computers remains the same, there is a big difference between the dynamics and utility associated with a closed network (such as a home network) and an open network (such as the Internet).
In reality, this difference plays out based on how ‘nodes’ are incentive to remain a part of the network. The key idea here is that in a public blockchain, the consensus mechanism is based around rewarding each individual participant to remain a part of the network. In a private blockchain, the need for creating this incentive does not exist.

Technically, it is a vast network of studded "nodes", formed by servers, which are as many voluntary participants in this system. This network constitutes a decentralised database: All transactions are recorded and accessible to the public. This is the case today for Bitcoin, and tomorrow for payment systems or even registrations in the cadastre. It is the computer servers of the participants that feed this database in computational power.

Each data from this blockchain is connected where if there is a change in one of the data block it will affect the next data. With this blockchain every transaction from bitcoin is stored in an Open Ledger (Ledger) which is distributed into bitcoin networks. Each blockchain will be distributed to each computer connected to the network. In each addition of data there will be check whether the data is valid or not which is usually called mining process or known in other term Proof of work.

To be clear the entire blockchain is retained on this large network of computers, meaning that no one person has control over its history.  :o :o :o :o  That?s an important component, because it certifies everything that has happened in the chain prior, and it means that no one person can go back and change things. It makes the blockchain a public ledger that cannot be easily tampered with, giving it a built-in layer of protection that isn?t possible with a standard, centralized database of information.

“The blockchain is an incorruptible digital ledger of economic transactions that can be programmed to record not just financial transactions but virtually everything of value.” - Don & Alex Tapscott, authors Blockchain Revolution (2016). Information held on a blockchain exists as a shared — and continually reconciled — database. This is a way of using the network that has obvious benefits. The blockchain database isn’t stored in any single location, meaning the records it keeps are truly public and easily verifiable.

Blockchain is a decentralized ledger technology that uses cryptography to secure the data it stores. This is the one-liner definition, in a broad sense! Now let’s break it down:

Decentralized, meaning there is no single authority which oversees every transaction that happens. Data travels through a relay of servers connected to the internet, making it virtually impossible to trace the data packet route.
Why is it called a ledger? It stores the data relating to each ongoing transaction, like, digital signatures,the transaction time stamp, the amount(in BTC or equivalent) etc in a block, which after verification is added to the existing blockchain.
Cryptography is a technique which uses mathematical formulations and algorithms to change/mask the actual data. Being over the internet this is a very crucial aspect of blockchain as it preserves the identity of the individuals in the transaction.

A blockchain, originally block chain, is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptograph. Each block typically contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block. For use as a distributed ledger, a blockchain is typically managed by a peer-to-peer network collectively adhering to a protocol for-node communication and validating new blocks. Blockchains are secure by design and exemplify a distributed computing system with high Byzantine fault tolerance.

A blockchain is a digitized, decentralized, public ledger of all cryptocurrency transactions. It is constantly growing as ‘completed’ blocks (i.e. recent transactions) are recorded and added to it in a sequential order, it allows market members to keep track of digital currency transactions without central record-keeping. Each node (a computer connected to the network) gets a copy of the blockchain, which is downloaded automatically.

With a blockchain, many people can write entries into a record of information, and a community of users can control how the record of information is amended and updated. Likewise, Wikipedia entries are not the product of a single publisher. No one person controls the information.

Descending to ground level, however, the differences that make [url]https://medium.com/@bitnautic/blockchain-technology-the-future-of-the-trillion-dollar-shipping-industry-aa6f424b3714[url] unique become more clear. While both run on distributed networks (the internet), Wikipedia is built into the World Wide Web (WWW) using a client-server network model.

A user (client) with permissions associated with its account is able to change Wikipedia entries stored on a centralized server.

Whenever a user accesses the Wikipedia page, they will get the updated version of the 'master copy' of the Wikipedia entry. Control of the database remains with Wikipedia administrators allowing for access and permissions to be maintained by a central
 authority.

built according to certain rules, a continuous chain of blocks (connected list) containing information. Most often, copies of block chains are stored on many different computers independently of each other.Transaction block is a special structure for recording a group of transactions in the Bitcoin system and similar ones. A transaction is considered complete and reliable ("confirmed") when its format and signatures are checked, and when the transaction itself is grouped with several others and recorded in a special structure — a block. The contents of blocks can be checked because each block contains information about the previous block. All blocks are built in one chain, which contains information about all operations ever performed in the database. The very first block in the chain-the primary block-is considered as a separate case, since it does not have a parent block

Bitcoin has no final demand, its just a collection of liabilities that belong to no one. Like if I have $100 in my bank account, someone else has -$100. It always equals out to zero, in bitcoin if I have +100 btc, then what? It isn't backed by a corresponding asset.

Blockchain has the ability to seriously transform how we exchange value, property, and record information. It is so new that we (humans) probably don't really understand all of the possibilities.

Essentially, the blockchain is a technology that distributes "magic books" that everyone, anywhere, or when ever can review; what's really amazing is (in my analogy) that each book automatically updates itself.

In reality, Blockchain technology is a decentralized database that stores a registry of assets and transactions across a peer-to-peer network. It's basically a public registry of who owns what and who transacts what. The transactions are secured through cryptography, and over time, that transaction history gets locked in blocks of data that are then cryptographically linked together and secured. This creates an immutable, unforgeable record of all of the transactions across this network. This record is replicated on every computer that uses the network.

        A Blockchain is the backbone of the digital decentralized public ledger of all cryptocurrency . The Blockchain is the best technology in modern era it is because of this decentralized nature data protection and high speed in data processing, most of the sectors are following this technology to better their services. Blockchain technology is effective in making transactions faster without an intermediary this reduces transaction fees . Government fears this Blockchain technology since it is too straight and this might be a huge step in the digital currency world.

Hey guyz
I am complete noob in crypto. I need to know what is a blockchain? How to use it and what if it goes offline? What affects it will occur on bitcoin.

I have tried understanding it but it looks very complex There may be a simpler way to understand it guys

Thanks for the help

Blockchain is a new application mode of computer technology such as distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, and encryption algorithms. Is a clever application of a cryptographic tool.

What is blockchain? Blockchain is just like a wallet thet you can store your bitcoin,etherium and etc. Because blockchain is an all around working wallet and it's worldwide.

the blockchain is a system that bitcoin use for their core, blockchain is doesn't have the database, but it use all client for their database and updating every new transaction made, and we all know that blockchain is a transparency system,its meant that we can see the all transaction around the world but we can't do anything with transaction for security

Blockchain is a digital ledger wherein the transactions made in btc or any other cryptocurrency are recorded and organized in public. In addition, no one is the admin since all users can access the particular site once they have accounts. Bitcoin is however a type of digital currency that uses techniques to regulate units of currency and verify transfer of funds and working independently. In short, bitcoin can be one of the many applications of blockchain.

There are lot of videos in youtube about blockchain and how it works.
According to INVESTOPEDIA A blockchain is a digitizes, decentralized, public ledger of all cryptocurrency transactions. Blocks are being recorded and constantly generating, where recorded data added to it in chronological order, it allows the participants to keep track of digital currency transactions without central record keeping.

Blockchain is a continuously growing list of records called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography. Each block typically contains a cryptography hash the previous block, a time stamp and transaction data. By design, a blockchain is inherently resistant to modification of the data. It is "an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way. Blockchain was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008 for use in the Cryptocurrency Bitcoin as its public transaction ledger. The invention of the blockchain for bitcoin made it the first digital currency to solve the double spending  problem without the need of a trusted authority or central Server. The bitcoin design has been the inspiration for other applications

Blockchain is one technology that does not use a third party in a process of data exchange which in this case occurs in the transaction process, and the system from Blockchain is also not using the third party as the center, but using many parties or computers scattered in the network itself . Blockchain technology also provides many solutions to reduce corruption that many countries currently experience.

The blockchain is an undeniably ingenious invention – the brainchild of a person or group of people known by the pseudonym,  Satoshi Nakamoto. But since then, it has evolved into something greater, and the main question every single person is asking is: What is Blockchain?“The blockchain is an incorruptible digital ledger of economic transactions that can be programmed to record not just financial transactions but virtually everything of value.”
By allowing digital information to be distributed but not copied, blockchain technology created the backbone of a new type of internet. Originally devised for the digital currency, Bitcoin,  (Buy Bitcoin) the tech community is now finding other potential uses for the technology.

Blockchain is a decentralized technology that all transaction made another cryptocurrencies are all recorded chronologically and publicly.

BlockChain comes from Block and Chain, each of which has its own meaning. Chain (chain) is a unique chain record and is a plot of all consistent stages of an item / transaction. Block (special box) is a place / boundary / special area to accommodate all item / transaction changes that occur during chain process.
Transactions using Blockchain technology are peer-to-peer, in the sense that a data (can be messages, money, or important information) can be moved from one user to another without the help of a third party to process it.

Along with the development in digital universe. Crypto currency in the future has become an increasingly attractive proposition in the market and may not have traditional banking infrastructure. Some developing countries in the world have even implemented a Blockchain-based national currency such as bitcoin and the technology is also used by some large charity projects to be able to help those who do not have a bank account. 8)

Bitcoin employs the help of blockchain technology. Blockchain technology is a list of records, which in this case is private data of crypyocurrencies, kept and secured using cryptography to ensure high security that no one could be able to tamper. Blockchain technology is mostly known for its help with bitcoin, but it could be applicable to any type of existing technoligy as the innovation and the revolutionary technology would be of much help.

Blockchain are secure by design and exemplify a distributed computing system with high Byzantine fault tolerance. Decentralized consensus has therefore been achieved with a blockchain.This makes blockchain potentially suitable for the recording of events, medical records and other records management activities, such as identity management,transaction processing, documenting provenance, food traceability or voting.

Blockchain is a distributed database system that acts as an “open ledger” to store and manage transactions. Each record in the database is called a block and contains details such as the transaction timestamp as well as a link to the previous block. This makes it impossible for anyone to alter information about the records retrospectively. Also, due to the fact that the same transaction is recorded over multiple, distributed database systems, the technology is secure by design.

Blockchain is ledger that recording the transaction with block and chain one transaction with others. Thats chain always continue and that creating transparancy on distribution.
Blockchain usefull in any purpose and its almost unhackable because the data spread all around the world

In simple aspect it is a system that carried out all the transaction being made by two parties. It can be traced easily due to its link with cryptography and the most secured way of creating decentralized ways of bitcoin transaction.

If we assume that the database is a book, the reading and writing database can be regarded as a kind of bookkeeping behavior. The principle of block chain technology is to find out the fastest and best person who has the fastest account in a period of time. The person is the person to keep the account, and then send the page information to all the others in the whole system. This is equivalent to changing all records of the database to all other nodes in the whole network, so block chain technology is also known as distributed account.

Yes, you are absolutly right! Therefore, governments may be against Blockchain , but I think that in the end we will come to this. Blockchain will help us to start a new life in which there will be no place for lies and fraud.
