Explain with your own words, why these are the benefits of using a blockchain.
Transparency: One of the greatest characteristics of the Blockchain is Transparency. Blockchain achieves this transparency with is transaction ledger for public addresses which are open for viewing by anyone. This adds a layer of accountability which no other technology ever achieved.
Security: When you have such a good accountability, the nature of the network becomes more secure. Add in the fact that there are miners who are here for verifying information and transactions you get an extremely secure network.
Improved traceability: if you think about a worldwide network, you probably think about the internet. But everyone knows that you cannot trust everything which is on the internet. Everyone can say and do pretty much anything. Some people even hide who they are or where they came from. With the Blockchain such a thing is impossible. Every transaction has to get verified before it gets published and every block in the chain is linked to its previous block and the block after it. This makes the whole operation extremely traceable.
Increased efficiency and speed: Blockchain removes the need for middlemen. Nowdays when you look at businesses all of this work like verifying, etc. has to be done by someone, a person. This takes time. In the blockchain this step gets automatically done by the math and the program behind the blockchain. This makes the whole procedure way faster and more secure.
Reduced cost: When you donât need to have a middleman like an accountant for example. There is one less person to pay. Add this to a whole global network where many parts from different company partake in - then you can imagine how much money really could get saved.
