Why choose Blockchain?
- Secured and authenticated:
It is safe because it adopts a digital signature mechanism for creating and executing the transactions and helps greatly in reducing the fraud and paves a clear way for trust and traces the accountability of the processes that took place beforehand.
- Sharing:
The transaction history can be shared.
- Ledger development:
When the record executed once it cannot be deleted, means it is immutable. If you commit a mistake, execute one more transaction compensating the previous one.
- Splintered:
It makes the processes very authentic. Network become stronger by sharing the more data.
What blockchain cannot do?
- It cannot be controlled by any single entity.
- It has no single point of failure.
