Information about blockchain bitcoin
bitcoin is a virtual currency. blockchain is the node to calculate virtual currency transactions. In short, blockchain technology ensures the normal operation of bitcoin system. How to describe the principle of blockchain. That's what the ledger means. I don't know if it's easy to use. It's said that it's quite encouraging. After all, it takes ten minutes to calculate the database account book in this area
but the bitcoin market is unstable recently. Let's have a look. Maybe I'll see you on the roof
bitcoin is regarded as the first generation application of blockchain technology and the most thorough application of its code testing. However, without bitcoin, there might not be so many people who knew about blockchain now. It can be said that bitcoin has greatly improved the "exposure" of blockchain technology
later, people graally found that the application value of blockchain is far more than bitcoin, but can be applied to many instries to solve the pain points of many instries; The idea of blockchain can also provide a lot of reference for the financial field, which is the real reason for the outbreak of blockchain.
relationship between blockchain and bitcoin: bitcoin used to be one of the most successful applications of blockchain technology. Specifically, the blockchain is a series of data blocks generated by the use of cryptography Association, and each data block contains the information of effective confirmation of multiple bitcoin network transactions. It can be said that bitcoin is a "killer application" of blockchain idea. Blockchain is the underlying technology of bitcoin, but its role is not limited to bitcoin.
Blockchain is a technology used by bitcoin and a database technology
bitcoin is an application of blockchain and a digital currency
blockchain technology was born with the birth of bitcoin, but blockchain technology is not limited to bitcoin, or even digital currency, but has a very wide range of applications
In 2008, Nakamoto published a paper on bitcoin, commonly known as the white paper on bitcoin. Among them, the concept of blockchain was put forward in Nakamoto's white paper. A blockchain is a series of data blocks (called "blocks") generated by using cryptographic correlation. New data blocks can always be linked to the last block, that is, the end of the whole blockchain. Bitcoin's peer-to-peer network stores all transaction history in a "blockchain."since the advent of bitcoin, more and more digital cryptocurrencies using blockchain technology have been introced, and up to now there are nearly 3000 kinds.

but in addition to the field of cryptocurrency, blockchain technology has been widely used in finance, Internet of things, logistics, insurance, digital right and other fields
