What is a blockchain? A super simple explanation! (1/6)
Imagine that a group of friends share a car and have a special notebook where they write down whomever has the keys to the car. This notebook isn’t kept by just one person; it’s shared with everyone in the friend group.
Nearly every phone and computer on Earth relies on one plain-text file to know what time it is.

Manchester United have had chances but they very nearly went 2-0 down just before the break, saved by a VAR reprieve.
They have won just one and lost eight of their last 10 #UCL games in which they've trailed at half-time.
Work to do if they are to get anything from this game.
A statistician is afraid of flying because there's a small chance of a bomb being on the plane.
So he starts carrying a bomb himself.
Reason?
“The probability of two bombs being on the same plane must be much smaller.”
