RE: The Answer is Simple

in #news8 years ago

do you know to how many places the blockchain of steemit is distributed? if it is only a few places, and these were shut down, steemit would be easily censored in it's entirety.

as far as i understand, with bitcoin, the bitcoin blockchain is downloaded by every user. is this true of steemit? it seems impossible, as i cannot turn off my wireless and still find anything on steemit. where would it fit? i have to think this cannot be the same as with bitcoin. this musing probably sounds stupid to someone who knows the answer, but i have little frame of reference to conceptualize this.

Sort:  

Every user who wants to can download the block chain and host a local copy.

A great question...hopefully someone with that level of knowledge could answer here.
