Blockchain
Basics
Qué significa
A decentralized, distributed digital ledger that records transactions across many computers. Each "block" contains transaction data, and blocks are linked chronologically in a "chain". Blockchains are the technology underneath most cryptocurrencies.
Ejemplo
Bitcoin's blockchain records every Bitcoin transaction since 2009, and is maintained by a global network of computers rather than a central authority.
Error común de principiantes
