A Blockchain is a decentralized data structure

that allows participants to

transact directly with each other

and stores the state and history of participants’ transactions

Just like the internet, all over again

Just like the internet allows us to communicate in a direct and immediate manner with minimum intermediaries;

Blockchain technology allows us to transact in a direct and immediate manner, with minimum intermediaries, on a distributed trustless ledger
