Q.: What is Blockchain ?

A.: Blockchain is just a collection of data base in blocks and every forward positioned block is linked with its immediate former block and the process goes on till the end block. Such linkage of blocks is through cryptographic technique. In other words, blockchain is distributed ledger of records organized in blocks that are linked by means of cryptographic validation. Each new entry must contain a sort of digital fingerprint (hash) of the last one.

It is a distributed ledger technology that is known for its peculiar characteristics such as transparency, security, immutability, consensus, and faster settlements.

Blockchains are append-only. That means that you can only add information but can not delete or change any information from the block.

A blockchain is immutable : if you change a block, it changes the fingerprint (hash) of last one which makes it domino effect where any change becomes evident. No one can change or alter any information without everyone noticing.

Q.: What is cryptocurrency? How Cryptocurrencies are connected with blockchain?

A.: Cryptocurrency is just like a digital form of cash which you can use to pay or buy anything anywhere in the world. Is it just like bank transfers ? Not really, it’s more interesting.

In traditional banks, you ask some centralized organization/s to pay or transfer digital money on your behalf when you want to spend your money. But in cryptocurrencies, there is no organization/s to whom you have to ask to transfer/ spend/pay your crypto money to anyone anywhere in the world. You can do it yourself without any middleman but with the help of free software which connects your computer/mobile phone with other people’s computer/mobile, which means you do it directly. It is permission-less, censorship resistant, cheap & fast payment method.

To run cryptocurrencies, we need blockchain technology which already explained above.
