Questions This Video Answers
What is blockchain technology?
Blockchain is a decentralized, digital ledger that records transactions across many computers. Each block contains a set of transactions, a hash, and the hash of the previous block, creating a secure and transparent chain.
How does AI enhance blockchain security?
AI can be trained on historical transaction data to identify patterns indicative of fraud. By integrating AI, fraudulent transactions can be detected and blocked before they are added to the blockchain.
What are smart contracts and how do they work?
Smart contracts are self-executing agreements written in code and stored on the blockchain. They automatically execute when predefined conditions are met, eliminating the need for intermediaries.
What are the key differences between Bitcoin and Ethereum?
Bitcoin is primarily a decentralized digital currency, while Ethereum is a platform that supports smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). Bitcoin focuses on secure value storage and transfer, while Ethereum offers broader functionality.
