Okay, let me tell you how I understood it myself.
⠀
Imagine a Google Sheet that everyone can look into, but deleting or 'quietly editing' — no chance.
⠀
This is blockchain:
A transparent, honest, and public database where every sneeze is permanently recorded in history. No Ctrl+Z allowed 😅
🧱 How it works
Each operation = 'block'.
Each block is linked to the previous one, forming... guess what?
👉 A chain of blocks (wow, block + chain).
⠀
Each subsequent block knows what happened before it, just like a neighbor in the stairwell.
Try to deceive the system — the whole network will raise the alarm.
⠀
A kind of anti-counterfeiter. Just smart and emotionless.
Why blockchain is a revolution, not just a trendy buzzword:
🟡 Without banks and guys in suits — transferred money directly, without commissions and '3 business days of waiting'.
🟡 Transparency — the entire history of transactions is visible. You can't hide anything, even if you really want to.
🟡 Security — hack the blockchain? Ha-ha, good luck to you and your MacBook Air.
And the main point:
Without blockchain, cryptocurrency is impossible.
No Bitcoin, Ethereum, or even your favorite meme coin would exist without it.
It's like the foundation under a house.
If you want to build financial freedom — figure out what everything relies on.
🎯 Conclusion for yourself (and for you too):
When I realized that blockchain is not 'something complex for IT specialists', but just a smart table with honest rules... I finally started feeling grounded.
😌 And yes, if they still tell you that blockchain is a bubble... ask them what the banking system runs on. Then just silently show them a blockchain explorer.
