Explaining Blockchain to a 5-year-old.

How will you explain ‘Blockchain’ to a 5-year old child?

The Mystery of the Missing Gem.

Unknown Treasure Found!

The Double Eclairs Dilemma.

(Here we can see Wasim with Alice’s eclairs.)
(Here we can see Bob with Alice’s Eclairs.)

Why so Unfair?

(Two Gems sent through the bank.)
(Green gem remains with the Bank.)

Enter Blockchain — The Hero!

  1. Problem 1 — Ravi shared one gem with Alice, but there was no proof of it. Alice ate the gem and told everyone she never received any gems from Ravi!
  2. Problem 2 — Bob went on a quest and found an extra gem. He decided to use it unfairly and without anyone’s permission. According to him, he already had that gem from the beginning.
  3. Problem 3 — Alice made 2 separate deals with Wasim and Bob using the same eclairs. Who owns the eclairs now? Or better yet, how can Alice use the eclairs once she has already given it to Wasim?
  4. Problem 4 — Wasim sent two gems Bob with the help of Bank. But Bank kept one gem as payment for its services.

But What is the Blockchain?

Take Care!
