    See P142 pf our notes.

    Blockchain allows an unchangeable and essentially indelible record of transactions relating to an entity to be recorded. It is used in recording who owns land, shares and other assets.

    Q1 I don’t know what is meant without seeing the information, but cryptocurrencies such a Bitcoins are only one use of blockchain technology. Banks can also use the technology to record transactions such as share purchases and mortgages.

    Q2 They compare records and I believe a ‘vote’ is taken to decide in the definitive version ie a consensus is reached.
