🚀 30 DAYS OF CRYPTO EDUCATION — DAY 2
🔗 WHAT EXACTLY IS A BLOCKCHAIN?
Yesterday, we introduced the world of cryptocurrency. Today, let's go one level deeper.
Think of a blockchain as a digital record book that is shared across a network of computers.
When transactions happen, they are grouped into blocks. These blocks are then linked together chronologically, creating a chain of blocks — hence the name “blockchain.”
💡 Simple example:
You send 1 BTC to a friend.
➡️ The transaction is broadcast to the network.
➡️ The network verifies it.
➡️ The transaction is recorded in a block.
➡️ That block becomes part of the blockchain.
One important feature is that blockchains are designed so that changing previously recorded information is difficult and detectable.
🔥 KEY LESSON:
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, but blockchain is the underlying technology that enables Bitcoin to operate without a traditional central database controlling every transaction.
