He has gone into detail about how it works in his video (also in the links below) , which we also recommend checking out!

So here it goes, Please let us know if you feel you know more about what a blockchain is after watching this short 5 minute video!

These videos are really good. look forward to some more. People think everyone knows what a bloc chain is but if you're new to crypto space it's like saying this is the internet 20 years ago. It was like something that didn't make sense. Now of course we use it every day without even thinking about it. Roll on the time when crypto is the same

Nice observation! We hope this helps new people easily understand what a blockchain is!

thank you for the feedback

good post

Thank you very much! I hope it helps!!

Actually I have learned something new. That hash is basically cryptographical language, it looks crazy n difficult, but its just a language, to which blockchain understands :) Kind of a chinese for a guy as me

Cool Dejavu!! Great to hear you got a new perspective!

Thanks for the info. Very informative and thanks for reading and voting on some of my posts. Much appreciated.

You explained this in very good detail. Easy to understand for those who have never heard of it.

thank you for the feedback! I love eucebio tents man, are you related?

Thank you! Stay tuned for more and please refer us if you know newbies who could benefit from this content!

Im still a newbie! haha but i definitely will

It's never bad to refresh some info right??
Actually it's the most educational blockchain video i've seen till now.
Hmmm... :d

We hope it was useful! at least if someone else asks, you can refer them to this short video!!

Sure. I have to admit man that it's well made. Keep up good work :P

Credits to @deimus and @edenmichelle for the amazing video and soundz!

I'm still not fully understanding -but I'll get there

Try watching it again, and pause it for bits that go too fast. Maybe Patrick and I should do an update vid that is a bit longer but goes into more detail and spends a bit more time. what specifically dont you understand? my mum is exactly the same :) she also cant quite fully understand the concept of blockchain :)) Looking into the blockchain in this way is like taking a glimpse into what it is that is operating the internet, none of us truly understand what it is and how it works, but we use the internet anyway. Please let me know more about where this isnt sinking in and we will address :)) thanks for your feed back!

That kind of puts it in a nutshell - I mean none of us really know how cellphones work and yet we speak to people in other countries on a daily basis - thanks @starkerz

Just know that you dont have to do anything with the blockchain as a user of this technology. computer programs operate in the background that make all of this work seamlessly, while the user clicks, likes, up votes, shares, transfers money, and executes smart contracts. What is described in the video is what is going on while you do all of this. The video is only trying provide the viewer with a simple idea of the principles of a block chain and why it is distributed, along with a little about what mining is. That really is all most people need to know to have an appreciation for the main principles of what a block chain is. essentially it is an un forgeable ledger. The advent of this tech has allowed for steemit, a platform for free speech and freedom from censorship, it has also allowed for accounting transparency, peer to peer crowd funding and many many others, which we will discuss more in later videos.

it's helpful .
