Blockchain may look like a complex endeavour, but in reality, the core concept is quite simple. A Blockchain is a type of database; a database is a collection of all or particular information that is stored automatically in a computer system. Different types of information can be massed on a Blockchain. However, the most common use is a ledger for transactions. Blockchain is used in a propagated way that no single person or group can control; instead, the users collectively retain the control. The data stored in the decentralized Blockchain is immutable, which means the data cannot be changed. As for Bitcoin, this means all the transactions are permanently recorded and viewable to anyone.

The invention of Cryptocurrency has opened a portal to the era of decentralization and financial literacy. In the Q3 of 2020, the Cryptocurrency market experienced yet another massive hot air that helped to flatter the popularity of Blockchain Technology, thus, attracting more people to acknowledge it now. As it continues to grow, the interest in digital assets is growing too, but not everyone understands the concepts and the principles of Blockchain Technology.
