Blockchain - The new internet? Introductory!

Blockchain technology?

 Blockchain is actually a way or new internet where allowing digital information to be distributed but not copied. Digital currency the bitcoin, is one who uses this technology. Not understand blockchain? nevermind, the inforgraphic below could brings you deeper into what is blockchain as well as what is Crytocurrency.

Blockchain is currency used by many industry mostly in gaming industry. Almost 91 billion market revenue had been created only in gaming industry. This is one of the most surprising fact happen to be with this technology.
The Strength of Blockchain
Blockchain technology is like the internet in that it has a built-in robustness. Blockchain stores blocks of information across all the networks and cannot be controlled by any single entity. The blockchain is transparency. All data is embedded within the network as a whole - the public. It also cannot be corrupted. Altering any information on the blockchain need a huge amount of computing power to override the entire network. It meaning to say that blockchain is like the NEW INTERNET.
But do you trust blockchain? Why don't you ask yourself.. do you trust internet?
Nodes!? blockchain's administrator
'Nodes' are so called computing which combined as a network to form a blockchain.
They all are together and they created a new powerful second level network, a wholly different vision for how the internet can function. Every node is an administrator of blockchain. They joins the network voluntarily. Each one has an incentive for participating in the network: the chance of winning bitcoin!
Nodes are said to be 'mining' Bitcoin. In fact, each one is competing to win Bitcoins by solving computational puzzles. 
“Bitcoin has the same character a fax machine had. A single fax machine is a doorstop. The world where everyone has a fax machine is an immensely valuable thing.”

bitcoin - Public and Private key

Bitcoin - private key Private key is an important part in moving and storing Bitcoin. The easiest way to understand private keys is to think about an old-fashioned mailbox system: Let's say Maria wants to send mail to Peter. First she needs to know what Peter's mailbox address is. Let's say Peter's mailbox is number 2001. Similarly, if she wants to send Bitcoin to Peter, she needs to know his Bitcoin address, which is a number that uniquely identifies him. This is also sometimes called his wallet address or public key , which functions similar to your bank account number. It's a long and complicated number because there are so many Bitcoin post boxes in the world. So now Maria deposits the Bitcoin in Peter's mailbox. She can have a peek inside and see the Bitcoin there, in fact anyone who walks by can see that mailbox 2001 is filled with one Bitcoin. This is part of the exciting part of Bitcoin - that everyone can see all the transactions but without an...

Cryptocurrency!

- What is it? A digital currency, used to make payments of any value without fees. In other word, it means cryptocurrency is one of the category under digital money. It runs on the blockchain, a decentralised ledger kept running by 'miners' - the computers, and are rewarded in bitcoins. the money of future maybe? - Who invented it? Satoshi Nakamoto, a secretive internet user, invented bitcoin in 2008 and went online in 2009. Satoshi is now not yet been identified. No one really know who or what Satoshi is... - What's it for? People see value in money free from government control and the fees banks charge; as well as the blockchain, to verify transactions. Bitcoin has been seen as a tool for private, anonymous transactions and it's the payment of choice for drug deals and other illegal purchases - What is Bitcoin Cash? In August 2017, the blockchain forked to support another cryptocurrency, Bitcoin Cash, which is optimised slightly differently. People who held...

Blockchain - The ideas

Decentralization  Blockchain is actually a decentralized technology. Anything that happens on it is a function the network as a whole. A global network of computers uses blockchain technology to jointly manage the database that records Bitcoin transactions. Bitcoin is managed by its network and not any one central authority. Decentralization means the network operates on a user- to user (peer to peer) basis. Who uses blockchain? The world bank estimates that over $430 billion US in money transfer were sent in 2015 and at that moment there is a high demand for blockchain developers. Finance offers the strongest use cases for the technology. The blockchain potentially cuts out the middleman for these types of transactions. The most common think we can see that is devised for the blockchain are the so-called 'wallet' applications, which people use to buy things with Bitcoin, and store it along with other cryptocurrencies. Blockchain and its security  By storing data acr...
