transactions that is duplicated and distributed across
the entire network of computer systems on the
blockchain
7. DIGITAL LEDGER
• Blockchain is essentially a digital ledger of
transactions that is duplicated and distributed across
the entire network of computer systems on the
blockchain
• Blockchain is a type of DLT in which transactions are
recorded with an immutable cryptographic signature
called a hash
8. BLOCKCHAIN MINING
• Blockchain mining is used to secure and verify bitcoin
transactions
• Mining involves Blockchain miners who add bitcoin
transaction data to Bitcoin’s global public ledger of past
transactions
Peer to Peer Transactions
• A peer-to-peer money transfer uses a website or app to
transfer funds from one person to another over the
internet or mobile networks
9. REQUIREMENTS AS PER COMPUTER EXPERTS
• Absence of any centralised authority and is maintained
through distributed networks
• The system maintains records of cryptocurrency units
and who owns them
• The system decides whether new units can be created
and in case it does, decided the origin and the
ownership terms
10. CONTINUED…
• Ownership of cryptocurrency units can be proved
exclusively cryptographically
• The system allows transactions to be performed in
which ownership of the cryptographic units is changed
11. ADVANTAGES

without the need of third party like credit/debit cards
or banks
• It is a cheaper alternative compared to other online
transactions
• Payments are safe and secured and offer an
unprecedented level of anonymity

“wallet” or account address which is accessible only by
a public key and pirate key. The private key is only
know to the owner of the wallet
• Funds transfer are completed with minimal processing
fees
13. DISADVANTAGES
• The almost hidden nature of cryptocurrency
transactions makes them easy to be the focus of
illegal activities such as money laundering, tax-
evasion and possibly even terror-financing
• Payments are not irreversible
• Cryptocurrencies are not accepted everywhere and
have limited value elsewhere
14. CONTINUED…
• There is concern that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are not
rooted in any material goods
• Some research, however, has identified that the cost of
producing a Bitcoin, which requires an increasingly large
amount of energy, is directly related to its market price
• Require high level system
• Carbon emissions
19. BITCOIN LEGALISED COUNTRY
• El Salvador became the first country in the world to
officially classify Bitcoin as a legal currency
• Tradition Economy of El-Salvador is begging for US doller
inflation
• It receives huge remittance from it’s diasphora, 20% GDP
dependence on it’s remittence
• By adopting the bitcoin, Govt of El-Salvador is looking to
bring down the transaction cost when it sending
remittence back home

யாதனின் யாதனின் நீங்கியான் ந ாதல்
அதனின் அதனின் இலன்
எந்த எந்தப் ப ாருள்களின் நேல் விருப் ம் இல்லாதவனாய் விலகுகிறாநனா
அவன் அந்த அந்த ப ாருள்களால் துன் ப் டோட்டான்.
Whatever thing, a man has renounced, by that thing; he cannot
suffer pain.
