Description
Blockchain and Bitcoin Fundamentals
Welcome to this class, Bitcoin and Blockchain Fundamentals: Understand the Blockchain. This class is the ultimate guide on the blockchain, which is the basis of cryptocurrency and supply chain tracking. We discussed the blockchain fully including its history, properties, structure, security, types, applications and uses in our modern world.
Simply put, the blockchain is a chain of blocks that store transaction records. It is a system of recording information in a way that makes it difficult or impossible to change, hack, or cheat the system. It offers the maximum-security level currently known in our modern world.
Furthermore, it is a decentralized, distributed, and oftentimes public, digital ledger consisting of records called blocks that are used to record transactions across many computers so that any involved block cannot be altered retroactively, without the alteration of all subsequent blocks. Thus, the blockchain is popularly referred to as Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT).
Discovered in 1991, the blockchain has the following properties: peer-to-peer, borderless, censorship-resistant, decentralized, open-source, transparent and programmable. These attributes of the blockchain make it suitable for its widespread applications in Cryptocurrency, Banking and Finance, Healthcare, Real Estate, Identity Management, Military, Content distribution, Travel, Online Advertising, etc.
In this class, you will be well equipped with a robust understanding of Blockchain and Bitcoin Fundamentals.
