By now, most people are well aware of cryptocurrencies. Even if you have no personal interest in them, you will have heard a thing or two by now. In 2017, the cryptocurrency market surpassed $600 billion USD. Now, many more cryptocurrencies are emerging and adding to this figure.

What is far less understood, however, is the underlying technology of cryptocurrencies – blockchain. Blockchain is a distributed ledger that holds all transactions and their associated records, in blocks. Every block is created by a cryptographic hash, as well as other information throughout a long process.

The end result is that blockchain offers transparency without sacrificing security. Attacking a blockchain is very difficult, as its underlying distributed technology leaves no single point of weakness. These are things that the world has an increasing demand for.

What you likely haven’t heard as much about is the growing number of blockchain companies. Blockchain technology is now being applied across many industries. These include insurance, healthcare, gaming, logistics, and much more.
