What is Blockchain?
Blockchain is a decentralised peer-to-peer, append-only, immutable distributed ledger that cryptographically secure records of transactions. The ledger is spread across a peer network which means it is not controlled by single entity where each peer holds a copy of the complete ledger.
Blockchain technology offers security, transparency, trust and cost-saving benefits.

Blockchain beyond Bitcoin and cryptocurrency
In 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto, a pseudonym, published a white paper - Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System, with a goal to enable a trust-less digital currency for transactions between unknown individuals which could eliminate the role of a trusted third party. This goal was achieved by blockchain technology that underpins Bitcoin.
However, because of the characteristics and benefits of blockchain technology it is considered as a disruptive technology which has potential use cases in nearly all industries.
