Thanks to Bitcoin's skyrocketing exchange value, more people are starting to take cryptocurrency seriously. But if you aren't inclined to invest your hard-earned cash into a volatile, wholly digital asset, you can at least take a peek behind the curtain to learn how the underlying blockchain technology works.Each cryptocurrency has its own blockchain, which is an incorruptible ledger of everything that's ever happened on the network. Bitcoin uses its blockchain to ensure the integrity of transactions by translating them into unbreakable code. Ethereum also uses it to track exchanges, but its main strength lies in its capabilities for creating smart contracts. This system allows for the creation of any number of automatically governed structures, like democratic organizations, and even other cryptocurrencies.
