What Is Blockchain? A Beginner’s Guide
Heard of Bitcoin or Ethereum? Behind them is a game-changing tech: blockchain — but it’s more than just crypto.
🧠 Think of it as a digital record book — but instead of being owned by a bank, it’s shared with thousands of people across the world.
No central control. No easy hacks. No data manipulation.
💡 How Does It Work?
📦 Blocks
Each block is like a page in a record book. It stores transactions (like “A sent 1 BTC to B”) plus a unique digital fingerprint called a hash.
🔗 Chain
Each block connects to the previous one using its hash. If anyone tries to mess with an old block, the chain breaks — and the network rejects it. That’s tamper-proof tech.
🌍 Decentralized
The entire chain is stored on thousands of computers (called nodes) around the world. No single point of control = no single point of failure.
🔐 Why It Matters
Blockchain is:
✅ Secure
✅ Transparent
✅ Censorship-resistant
It’s powering the future — not just crypto, but also supply chains, digital identity, gaming, finance, and even art.
