The Blockchain

The Blockchain is a technology!

In this article, I will explain the basic of the blockchain, what blockchain can solve, a distributed ledger, advantages of using blockchain, blockchain durability and robustness etc.

Blockchain is an undeniably ingenious invention – the brainchild of a person or group of people known by the pseudonym, Satoshi Nakamoto. But since then, it has evolved into something greater. At date, Blockchain has become a buzzword.

By allowing digital information to be distributed but not copied, Blockchain technology created the backbone of a new type of Internet. Originally used for the digital currency, Bitcoin, the tech community is now finding other potential uses for the blockchain technology.

Bitcoin has been called “Digital Gold,” and for a good reason. To date, the total value of the Bitcoin currency is close to $36 billion US and counting.

And Blockchains can make other types of digital value. Like the Internet (or your car), you don’t need to know how the blockchain works to use it. However, having a basic knowledge of this new technology shows why it’s considered revolutionary. So, we hope you enjoy this, what is Blockchain tour!

What is Blockchain Technology?

Blockchain is an emerging technology that can completely improve Banking, Insurance, Supply-chain, and other Transaction Networks, and creating new opportunities for innovation.

Technically, a blockchain is an immutable, distributed ledger shared by the members of a permissioned network for tracking the secure exchange of business assets. Unlike a Bitcoin-based network, member identities are known and no cryptocurrencies are involved.
