Blockchain● You (a "node") have a file of transactions on your computer (a "ledger").
● Two government accountants (let's call them "miners") have the same file
on theirs (so it’s "distributed"). As you make a transaction, your computer
sends an e-mail to each accountant to inform them.
● Each accountant rushes to be the first to check whether you can afford it
(and be paid their salary "Bitcoins").
● The first to check and validate hits “REPLY ALL”, attaching their logic for
verifying the transaction ("Proof of Work"). If the other accountant agrees,
everyone updates their file…
● This concept is enabled by "Blockchain" technology.
