Chapter 2: Origins of blockchain

Blockchain has its origins in the 1990s, when researchers began exploring the possibility of creating a technology that could record data securely and reliably . However, it was in 2008 that blockchain gained global prominence, with the launch of Bitcoin .

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that uses the blockchain to record its users' transactions. The Bitcoin blockchain is a decentralized network of computers that work together to maintain a secure and reliable record of all transactions.

Chapter 3: Blockchain Fundamentals

Blockchain is a complex technology, but its fundamentals are relatively simple. Blockchain is a chain of blocks, each block containing a set of data . Blocks are connected to each other using a hash , which is a mathematical function that generates a unique value for each block.

Blockchain is a decentralized technology, meaning it is not controlled by any central entity . Instead, it is controlled by a decentralized network of computers.

Blockchain is a secure technology as it uses cryptography to protect data. Data on the blockchain is encrypted, meaning it can only be read by those who have the correct encryption key.

Blockchain is a transparent technology as all data on the blockchain
