    | colspan="2" | [[File: Blockchain main page.png|100px|left|Blockchain Wiki Bitcoin]]'''[[blockchain|Blockchain]]'''  is a continuously growing list of records, called [[block|blocks]], which are linked and secured using cryptography. It acts as a distributed public ledger. Each block typically contains a [[hash|hash pointer]] which links it to a previous block, a timestamp, and [[Bitcoin transaction|transaction]] data. By design, blockchains are inherently resistant to modification of the data. They are typically managed by a peer-to-peer network collectively adhering to a protocol for validating new blocks. Once recorded, the data in any given block cannot be altered retroactively without the alteration of all previous blocks, which requires collusion of the network majority (51%).

Blockchains are secure by design, and are an example of a distributed computing system with high Byzantine fault tolerance. Blockchains have achieved decentralized consensus. This makes them potentially suitable for the recording of events, medical records, identity management, transaction processing, documenting provenance, food traceability, and kinds of other record management.
 +
 +
The first blockchain was conceptualised in 2008 by an anonymous person or group known as [[Satoshi]] Nakamoto, and implemented in 2009 as the public [[ledger]] for all bitcoin transactions. The inclusion of blockchain in the Bitcoin system made it the first [[Electronic_money|digital currency]] to solve the double spending problem without resorting to a trusted authority or central server. Blockchain is the main innovation of [[Bitcoin]].

What is Bitcoin?
Satoshi Wiki – All About Cryptocurrency
Bitcoin is a decentralized electronic cryptocurrency created in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto. “Decentralized” here means that Bitcoin has no central servers for transaction processing or storage of funds. Bitcoin emission is limited; no more than 21 million coins will ever be issued. According to calculations, Bitcoin production will end in 2140.

Bitcoin transactions and emissions are regulated by an extensive peer-to-peer network. Bitcoin uses a distributed public universal database, spread through a decentralized peer-to-peer network. The network uses digital signatures and is supported by a proof-of-work protocol to ensure security and legitimacy of funds in use.

To guarantee that a third-party cannot spend a user's bitcoins by issuing false transactions in their name, Bitcoin uses public key cryptography. This is a system of digital signatures, in which each person has one or more addresses or wallets, each with an associated pair of public and private keys. A user can sign a transaction with their private key, and the rest of the peers in the network can validate the signature using that user’s public key.

Bitcoin is the most widespread cryptocurrency. Its total market value is over $171 billion. One can exchange, buy or sell Bitcoins on many sites. Despite the fact that using Bitcoin does not formally require user identification, the currency is not completely anonymous.

Initial coin offering (ICO stands for initial coin offering. It is an unregulated crowdfunding tool based on cryptocurrencies, often used to fund startups.
