FAQ: Blockchain Fundamentals
Q: How is blockchain different from Bitcoin?
A: Bitcoin uses blockchain technology, but blockchain itself has thousands of applications beyond cryptocurrency.
Q: What makes blockchain secure?
A: Its decentralized nature and cryptographic linking of blocks create tamper-evident records.
Q: Can blockchain be hacked?
A: While theoretically possible, the computational power required makes successful attacks economically unfeasible for most public blockchains.
Q: Which industries benefit most from blockchain?
A: Supply chain, healthcare, finance, and identity verification see immediate transformational potential.
Q: How long does blockchain verification take?
A: Varies by protocol - Bitcoin averages 10 minutes per block, while newer chains achieve sub-second transactions.
Q: Is blockchain environmentally sustainable?
A: Next-generation solutions using Proof-of-Stake (vs Proof-of-Work) reduce energy consumption by ~99.95%.
