As we have already discussed, Blockchain is essentially a decentralized un-hackable database, where everyone has a copy of the same database.
There’s no middleman, It is programmed to record not just financial transactions like bitcoin, virtually like ad delivered, contract signed, or a record at a hospital that was changed.
Any of these transactions will be recorded on the blockchain and everyone has access to or a copy of the same database essentially.
How Blockchain works:
1. person(A) wants to send a money
2. In online the transaction has been represented as a “block”
3. The block is broadcast to every party in the network
4. Those blocks in the network will approve the transaction is valid
5. The block then can be added to the chain which provides a transparent record of transactions
6. Likewise the money moves from person A to person B.
This means no single person owns them not controls them. The information being passed across these computers is fully automated and completely safe, every block is verified by thousands of computers.
