what are blockchains?

[Kaliandra]

My friends don't have much experience in crypto, and I often hear the word blockchain, so I want to ask all of my friends? namely, what is blockchain, its function and how does it work? please help to explain?

It's absolutely ok to ask your questions here, a lot of people will want to help you. But... isn't this something you can just Google it?

Rather than ask "what is a blockchain" to us, ask Google and research/read a bit. Then come back and tell us what you don't get or what you want more information about.

Blockchain is a special format of storing data. A special type of database, very good for decentralized and trustless use because, especially if built in the way Bitcoin's blockchain is done, they will not allow modifying data from the past.
The rest of info, especially details on what does Bitcoin's blockchain store and how, will be there in the links already provided by others.

All answer is actually in google, they can search all they want and the meaning of those words will pop up but there are some newbies are skipping to do that because they want to short cut things since they don't want to do further research.

Its really good to do research first before asking since you will get more additional info' coming here then you will not skip any basic information which is important things you need to learn.

OP,it is good you learn on your own instead of asking the forum easy questions you can make research on with google. For you to grow in this forum you should have the habit of reading and learning on your own for vast knowledge. Anybody that is learning about crpto should be able to first know what blockchain is. Tim-Charles has given you good articles to read on blockchain. Learning is intersting when you can easily get the information if what you need to know about from google.

Google has all the answer mate and today we have smartphones and the internet, I learned more about crypto using google search engine, with this topic of yours I believe you need to start your crypto research using google at first.
