How a blockchain works
I would love to help you wrap your head around blockchain! Before we dive into the mechanics of how it links data together, I'd like to tailor this session to your background.
To help me give you the best analogies and explanations, what brings you to the world of blockchain today, and how much do you already know about it?
I am a complete beginner, just curious about how it works!

What is a Blockchain?
Think of a blockchain as a digital —a high-tech, shared notebook where transactions are written down.
Normally, when you transfer money, a centralized authority like a bank keeps track of that ledger. With blockchain, that notebook is shared across thousands of computers simultaneously, meaning no single person or institution has total control over it.
Because there is no central authority, this notebook is completely decentralized and , which is just a fancy way of saying "un-changeable." Once something is written in this notebook, it is written in stone.
