Can a blockchain ever be destroyed?

in #steemit • 6 years ago (edited)

Once a transaction goes through a blockchain, it stays there forever. That is my understanding. So, can I safely say that a blockchain is forever, it will be there for eternity? Can it be turned off?

Thank you for helping me solve this mystery.

Am I dumb?

    It's been said that way because blockchain is decentralised data. Everyone who uses a particular blockchain has copy of the same data. However, these data can only be unlocked when you have the correct combination of public and private keys of the owner of a particular data block.
