What is blockchain in simple terms?
If you are a beginner in the world of cryptocurrencies, let's start with the most important thing — what is blockchain?
Blockchain is like a digital journal or book that records all transactions. Unlike a regular book, it:
Is stored by thousands of users simultaneously (this makes it decentralized).
Cannot be forged — each new "block" of data is linked to the previous one.
Is open to everyone — you can see all transactions at any time.
A simple example:
Imagine you and your friends are keeping a shared notebook of expenses. Every time someone spends money, they record it. Everyone can see what is happening. No one can erase entries without the consent of others. This is the main idea of blockchain!
Why is it needed?
So that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin can operate without banks and intermediaries.
So that data is reliable, transparent, and secure.
Advice for beginners:
Learn how blockchains work before investing. Understanding the basics will help you avoid mistakes and recognize real projects among scams.
