Bitcoin Blockchain
Whenever a digital transaction is made it is grouped in a cryptographically protected block together with other transactions that have been carried out in the last 10 minutes and it is sent out to the entire network. Miners then compete to validate the transactions by solving mathematical problems for a certain reward. Each validated block of transactions is added to the blockchain in chronological order. New blocks of validated transactions are linked to older blocks. As a result, there is a chain of blocks that display all transactions that have ever occurred in the history of the blockchain.
