Original Description

Blockchain Explained | What is Blockchain? | Blockchain Technology Everything you need to know! Key elements of a blockchain: a blockchain is a list of transactions that anyone can view and verify. It is a system of recording information in a way that makes it difficult or impossible to change, hack, or cheat the system. A blockchain is essentially a digital ledger of transactions that is duplicated and distributed across the entire network of computer systems on the blockchain. Each block in the chain contains a number of transactions, and every time a new transaction occurs on the blockchain, a record of that transaction is added to every participant’s ledger. Distributed ledger technology: All network participants have access to the distributed ledger and its immutable record of transactions. With this shared ledger, transactions are recorded only once, eliminating the duplication of effort that’s typical of traditional business networks. Immutable records: No participant can change or tamper with a transaction after it’s been recorded to the shared ledger. If a transaction record includes an error, a new transaction must be added to reverse the error, and both transactions are then visible. Smart contracts: To speed transactions, a set of rules — called a smart contract — is stored on the blockchain and executed automatically. A smart contract can define conditions for corporate bond transfers, including terms for travel insurance to be paid and much more. 0:00 What is Blockchain Technology? 2:14 How does a Blockchain Work? 3:45 Main Advantages Of Blockchain 5:05 Types of Blockchain 6:37 Blockchain Uses - Bitcoin vs Ethereum Do you use blockchain technology currently?
