Notes from crypto noob - Improvements welcome - October 2017
- A blockchain is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography
- By design, blockchains are inherently resistant to modification of the data.
- A blockchain can serve as "an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way.
- For use as a distributed ledger, a blockchain is typically managed by a peer-to-peer network collectively adhering to a protocol for validating new blocks.
Bitcoin :
- Bitcoin is a worldwide cryptocurrency and digital payment system
- The system is peer-to-peer, and transactions take place between users directly, without an intermediary.
- These transactions are verified by network nodes and recorded in a public distributed ledger called a blockchain.
- Digital currency exchanges (DCEs) or bitcoin exchanges are businesses that allow customers to trade digital currencies for other assets, such as conventional fiat money, or different digital currencies..
- They can be market makers that typically take the bid/ask spreads as transaction commissions for their services or simply charge fees as a matching platform.[1]
Wallet :
- A cryptocurrency wallet stores the public and private keys which can be used to receive or spend the cryptocurrency.
- A wallet can contain multiple public and private key pairs. The cryptocurrency itself is not in the wallet.
ICO :
- Unregulated and controversial means of crowdfunding via use of cryptocurrency, which can be a source of capital for startup companies.
