- meiraleal 5y agoBlockchain is a decentralized network implementation, not a datastructure for money.
- space_rock 5y agoLink please. Blockchain was defined as a datastructure for money in the bitcoin whitespace by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008. New definition reference?
- meiraleal 5y agoCan you quote this definition please? To read and write to the blockchain, you need a decentralized network to support it, it is nothing as a static datastructure. To reduce blockchain to "a datastructure for money" doesn't cover how it works.
- space_rock 5y ago"We define an electronic coin as a chain of digital signatures. Each owner transfers the coin to the next by digitally signing a hash of the previous transaction and the public key of the next owner and adding these to the end of the coin. A payee can verify the signatures to verify the chain of ownership." https://nakamotoinstitute.org/bitcoin/ https://nakamotoinstitute.org/bitcoin/
