After 8 months of not fully understanding what a blockchain is.....

I finally understand it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is yuuuuuuge people! I've watched tons of different videos to answer the question, "What is a blockchain?" and even though these videos did a fair job of answering the question, none really showed me what doing hash functions and securing the blockchain looked like on a computer screen! That's what I've been trying to find but without much luck until yesterday. It's a new era, because now I get it. It's actually not that complicated, as far as I can tell...

If you've wondered what the following words mean but never really found a good answer, watch the videos below.

BLOCKCHAIN

HASHING

SHA-256 HASH

NONCE

I made another one of my crazy videos documenting my knowledge trip. In this one, I go through all the emotions of not understanding what a blockchain is, and practically break down at one point screaming:

WHAT THE HECK IS A BLOCKCHAIN ANYWAY?

If you'd prefer to skip my crazy video and just get straight to the video that shows you what a blockchain actually looks like, watch this. HERE IT IS. You'll never be confused about what a blockchain is after seeing this. It's the mother lode:

I'm really curious though, and this question is for anyone who has ever mined Steem: does this look like your mining? What does securing the Steem blockchain look like from a Witness perspective? Screenshots would be appreciated.

Thanks.

(I hope I am right about this. If not, I'll probably have another breakdown.)
