Database (with copies replicated across multiple locations or nodes)
of transactions (between two or more parties)
split into blocks (with each block containing details of the transaction such as the seller, the buyer, the price, the contract terms, and other relevant details)
which are validated by the entire network (via encryption by combining the common transaction details with the unique signatures of two or more parties. Valid if the result of the encoding is the same for all nodes)
and added to the chain of prior transactions (as long as the block is validated).
BLOCKCHAIN IS…

WORDS OF WISDOM…Bullish Blockchain Entrepreneur
• Improve open networks - solving the hard problems, proving the skeptics wrong
• Frugality with VC money - it will probably take longer than you think!
• Continue perseverance - you are trying to create a new way of doing things – for better or for worse, and however it may end up
Observing on Sideline
• Continuous learning - keep reading, talking, learning, and understanding.
• Question the status-quo - challenge the hand-wavers if something doesn’t sound or feel right
• Stay optimistic - keep watching the evolution of this space, the future is exciting!
