The Best Explanation of a Blockchain I've Ever Seen
A friend of mine just emailed me this, and it's amazing. Since 2013 I've been finding better and better videos explaining bitcoin and blockchain technology.
This, I think, may be the best explanation of a blockchain I've ever seen. It's 17 minutes long, but it actually goes through the details of what's happening on the distributed ledger and why it's immutable and trustworthy. Even if someone doesn't understand what a hash algorithm is, this video explains things from start to finish.
I love seeing great educators put stuff like this together.

I tweeted at Anders and will share the liquid rewards of this post (SB and STEEM) with him when he creates an account here.
Thanks for posting my video - glad it seems to be helpful!
Welcome to Steemit!
I hope you get a chance to poke around here a bit too. I'd love to see similar videos on graphene databases and the blockchain technology which powers BitShares/Steemit.
Giving you a follow now.
thanks for sharing the video <3

Thank you! :)
Congrats on your rewards!
Looks like you made around $31 plus the $25 for your comment. Not bad!
Thank you for making the video.
Hi Anders, I really also like your new video!
This video should be transcribed and added to an updated version of the Bitcoin Whitepaper.
Thanks for your contribution to society.
Society awaits part 2?
I'm now following you! I really enjoyed watching it when I first stumble on it a couple weeks or months ago.
Fantastic explanation. Following you.
Great technical video for noobies like myself.
Very impressive tutorial application, which properly advertised with youtube video.
Very rarely happens in our days.
I was just about to post the same video to steemit and thought someone must have found it already, so I did a search and found your post. As you say it is a great intro to the whole blockchain concept explained very clearly. I have some followers who are new to the whole crypto world and this would be great for them to see. I can't resteem it to my blog but I'll write a post and direct people to this. Thanks for posting.
Very cool!
They may also enjoy the @ubf project I'm working on. Episode 2 includes this video as well, along with some of my commentary about it.
Thanks @lukestokes I'll check it out right now. The more info I can get to my network fast without me having to write it the better. Time is precious as you know. Thanks again for a great post and the upvotes. Very helpful.
I appreciate all your comments and support @molometer, thank you.
I teach blockchain to others, just only to keep myself abreast with the developments in Blockchain and Crypto Assets.
The practice of writing posts on Steemit to experience a DaApp is also taken up with the same intention (Teaching to be abreast with the latest!)
It is a good practice to check for the post that has resembles the post that I want to post. Will be at it.
Once again, thanks for the post @lukestokes.
The more people learn and understand blockchains, the better our world will be.
That's the truth!
Nice animation. :)
me2^^
Indeed, straight-forward explanation... It would be great to have similar series for Steem
I am going to translate it to my language, a very understandable demonstration for people who are not into the whole blockchain thing.
and great job on contacting Anders

Very cool!
Check out "bitcoin under the hood" on youtube as well. I really liked that one, there is a short and a long version in case you haven't seen it before.
Nice! I just watched the five minute one:
I'll check out the longer one later.
That video was fantastic, I send it to many of my friends and hopefully, it will spark some more interest from them. Also, much respect for Tweeting Anders and sharing the liquid rewards. That's class. Respect.
Thanks! I'm glad he'll get a nice reward from Steemit for his efforts.
...an now that we are finally understanding blockchain, we have the iota "Tangle" - maybe you can do a similar video for this, too ;)
