[Excerpted From Wikipedia] A blockchain is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography, creating "an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way." Secure by design, blockchains are potentially suitable for the recording of events, medical records, and other records management activities, such as identity management, transaction processing, documenting provenance, food traceability or voting. By using a blockchain, bitcoin was the first digital currency to solve the double spending problem without requiring a trusted administrator and has been the inspiration for many additional applications.
