Therefore, when discussing cryptocurrencies, one comes across the terms' fungible' and 'non-fungible’. @alysesam, you have won another 100 USDT this month! The most-read story in March was by Blockchain Technology Explained in 90 words @gaurav02 Congratulations! With more than 2k reads, you have won 100 USDT! Here’s how @gaurav02 defined blockchain in 90 words: "Blockchain" technology enables this approach. On your PC, you (a "node") have a transaction file (a "ledger"). The identical file is on the computers of two government accountants (let's call them "miners"). Your computer sends an e-mail to each accountant as soon as you complete a transaction. Every accountant is rushing to be the first to see if you can afford it (and be paid their salary "Bitcoins"). The first to examine and confirm presses "REPLY ALL," adding their reasoning to the transaction's verification ("proof of work"). If the other accountant agrees, everyone's file is updated. On that note, let’s wrap up the announcement! See y’all next month! We will contact the winners shortly. Keep an eye on to see the current and upcoming writing contests!
