Blockchain technology
● Blockchains store data in blocks that are then linked together via cryptography.

● As new data comes in, it is entered into a fresh block. Once the block is filled with
data, it is chained onto the previous block.

● Different types of information can be stored on a blockchain

● In Bitcoin’s case, blockchain is used in a decentralized way so that no single person


or group has control—rather, all users collectively retain control
.
● Decentralized blockchains are immutable, which means that the data entered is
irreversible.
