Blockchain: Everything You Need to Know About Underlying Technology of Bitcoin

If you are interested in cryptocurrencies, then there is one that you must have heard of. Bitcoin is the most trending cryptocurrency that is entirely based on blockchain technology. People are crazy about investing in bitcoin because of blockchain technology. Bitcoin is a digital currency that has a decentralized nature, which means it requires no banks or governments to authenticate transactions.

Since its invention, people have cursed the bitcoin network a lot because of many negative factors. Over time, when developers understood the blockchain technology, it gained popularity. For those who have just entered the world of cryptocurrencies, they must understand that blockchain is a distributed public ledger which keeps a record of all transactions.

It is understood that there are negative factors, and the main is the volatile market. The price of bitcoin keeps on fluctuating, and it entirely depends on two main factors: demand and supply of bitcoin. Even after having negative factors, there are many people who look at the positive side. The best thing is the blockchain technology.

Here, in this article, we will understand every single detail about blockchain technology on which the bitcoin network is based on.

What Is Blockchain?

With its name, it might seem complex to understand it, but it is simpler to understand it. In simple words, blockchain is a chain of blocks. Now you might be thinking, what are block and chain? We will understand these two terms, technically. The digital information of transactions is referred to as “block,” and the information that is stored in a public database is referred to as “chain.”

Let us first understand the blocks that are basically the digital information in three main parts which are as follows:

  • Blocks store digital pieces of information such as transaction amount, time, and date of the recent purchase.
  • The blocks store information of the individuals that perform the transactions. The information of individuals is stored that includes the name of the buyer and purchase record. All this information is recorded without getting the personal information of any user. It is recorded by using a “digital signature” that is much like a username.
  • Each block store unique information that is entirely different from other ones. Each block of blockchain has a unique code, which is also known as the hash. The hash is used to indicate that each block has unique information. The purchases or transactions may look similar, but the blocks indicate that each one has its own unique code.

How Does Blockchain Technology Work in Bitcoin?

Once the transactions are verified, it constitutes a block, and every block stores new and unique data. A block is further added to the blockchain. From its name, it is clear that blockchain means a set of blocks. For a block to get added into the chain, we will make you understand the things that must happen:

  • A block store information, and to store the information, it is crucial for a transaction to occur. By looking at a few things, you make your mind and select one out of all and make a purchase. The blocks are grouped together, and there are numerous transactions that make a block.
  • The transactions that occurred through any bitcoin trading website must be verified. You can read the reviews before you choose a site. Once you make a purchase of bitcoin, that transaction needs to be verified in order to be counted as legitimate. The miners do the work of verifying the new transactions. Verifying the transactions means confirming the details of the buyer and the purchase that occurred with include the amount, time, and the user‘s name.
  • Once the transaction is verified and is counted as legal, it is given the green light. After all this, all the digital information gets stored in the block. Your one transaction will group together with thousands of transactions.
  • After this, the block needs to be provided a hash. Once everything is verified, the block’s transactions are provided a unique code that is called a hash. After the transactions are verified, it must be hashed, and then only it can get added to the blockchain. Along with this one transaction, there are plenty of other transactions that must be hashed to get added to the blockchain.
