The term ‘blockchain technology’ typically refers to the transparent, trustless, publicly accessible ledger that allows us to securely transfer the ownership of units of value using public key encryption and proof of work methods.
The technology uses decentralised consensus to maintain the network, which means it is not centrally controlled by a bank, corporation or government. In fact, the larger the network grows and becomes increasingly decentralised, the more secure it becomes.
The potential for blockchain technology is not limited to Bitcoin. As such, it has gained a lot of attention in a variety of industries including financial services, charities and nonprofits, the arts and e-commerce.
