Contributed by: Handley
  • 1. Blockchain technology has been a significant disruptor in various industries, revolutionizing the way data is stored, verified, and transacted. Its decentralized nature enables secure and transparent transactions, reducing the need for intermediaries and streamlining processes. By providing a tamper-proof and immutable ledger, blockchain enhances trust and accountability among participants. This technology has the potential to revolutionize finance, healthcare, supply chain management, and many other sectors by increasing efficiency, reducing costs, and fostering innovation.

    What is a 'fork' in the context of blockchain technology?
A) A physical tool used to mine cryptocurrency.
B) A type of digital wallet.
C) A security breach in the blockchain network.
D) A change to the underlying rules of the blockchain.
  • 2. Why is data on a blockchain considered tamper-proof?
A) Because blockchain technology encrypts all data.
B) Because altering data in one block would require changing all subsequent blocks, which is computationally infeasible.
C) Because the government regulates blockchain data.
D) Because the data is physically stored on a secure server.
