Mappleton commented on the word blockchain
A block chain or blockchain is a permissionless distributed database based on the bitcoin protocol that maintains a continuously growing list of transactional data records hardened against tampering and revision, even by operators of the data store's nodes. The initial and most widely known application of the block chain technology is the public ledger of transactions for bitcoin which would become the inspiration for similar implementations often known as altchains.
