Cryptocurrency and its disruptive architecture, Blockchain, is now making the biggest revolution in the finance sector for the last 100 years.

There is a lot of hype surrounding the concept of the blockchain, but what does this term actually mean? What is Blockchain technology? Why does it matter?

These questions are not always answered with due diligence in the sea of headlines that deal with digital currencies using blockchains.

As a result, many people are left with an incomplete understanding of this transformative new technology and its massive implications for the future.
