Are you saying to yourself, “Okay, I understand the main concept behind the blockchain, but why should I care?”
Of course, blockchain is best known as the engine, or software, behind digital currency - otherwise known as cryptocurrency.
Blockchain technology is used by millions of people daily for the use of payments, transfers, and transactions.
But blockchain isn’t only about sending and receiving money! Far from it.
Blockchain is also used for the secure transfer and immutable structure of data.

It is important to understand the use of blockchain as you will ultimately become the beneficiary of all its benefits, and if you were not aware of all those benefits, now is the time to start learning.
