The term "blockchain" doesn't appear in the original Bitcoin paper. Who used the term for the first time, anyone knows?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

I don't know exactly who, but i believe that the first one who used it should be Satoshi Nakamoto, about the definition i found this https://www.techopedia.com/definition/30246/blockchain
