A Visual Guide to Bitcoin & Blockchain: Overview (Pt.1)

Like millions of people who have heard about Bitcoin and blockchain in recent years, I am also deeply intrigued by these technologies. So, I thought why not make a visual guide that helps myself and probably others to understand the gist of it in a simple, visual way, uninterrupted by the many jargons and technological specificities.

Since this guide aims to provide foundational understanding, it will inevitably obscure important details of Bitcoin and blockchain. Some of which I will address in later parts, some I won't. But with this 'skeleton' knowledge, you would have an easier time layering up more advanced concepts and details.

Enjoy!
