Created in 2009, during the depths of the Global Financial Crisis as an alternative to the traditional banking system, bitcoin is a decentralised digital currency, without the need for central banks or authorities. Touted as being ‘fraud-proof’, each bitcoin transaction is verified, copied, and transmitted to other computers, recorded in a distributed ledger known as a blockchain. Bitcoin’s innovative approach to currency, with its decentralised nature and strong security, is revolutionising the financial world.

Someone requests a transaction. That transaction can involve a physical asset, cryptocurrency, medical record, legal contract or any other information. The requested transaction is broadcast to all participants, (‘nodes’). The network of nodes validates the transaction using known algorithms. Once verified the transaction is combined with other transactions to create a new block of data. This new block of data is added to the existing blockchain and is permanent and unalterable. The transaction is then complete.
There are numerous benefits of using blockchain technologies. They increase record transparency and help with the auditing process. They also help to streamline business processes and can potentially reduce costs when trust or integrity is difficult to enforce.
