Before any panic, let me clear the air with this; Blockchain did not invent Bitcoin, Bitcoin itself is the oldest, most capitalized, decentralized, robust, and most secured Blockchain.

Below are some of the reasons;

  • Majority of Bitcoin derive their structure and design from the Bitcoin Blockchain.

  • Blockchains and crypto are relatively intersection of cryptography, economics, and politics.

  • In a way, Blockchain is somewhat the perfect definition of consensus.

  • Cryptocurrencies can still operate even without a Blockchain.

  • The invention of Bitcoin actually forced the birth of Blockchain technology.

As we said in our other post, Blockchain could be seen as a chain of blocks. Interestingly, Blockchain Technology can also be used to store information about transactions and as well keep a perfect record of the past.

However, Blockchain ledgers are distributed amongst all computers that elect to run their software.
