Last week, we talked about Blockchain as a general concept; this week, it is time to dig a bit deeper. As mentioned in "Blockchain Explained" (Article Link), there is not one Blockchain but, in fact, many different ones. Not all of them follow the same rules, and not all of them are publicly accessible. This time, let’s use some art 🎨 metaphors to examine different types and properties of Blockchains.

First of all, and to clarify, there is no such thing as ‘The Blockchain.’ There are actually hundreds of different blockchains. But to take it one step at a time, let’s look at the general concept of one blockchain, again utilizing a more relatable metaphor from the realms of fashion:

Crypto news of the past few days has been scrutinizing the German government for selling vast amounts (worth around $895 million) of Bitcoin in short intervals. Maybe you have been wondering why that is seen as problematic. Let's take a closer look together so you can take part in the discussion:

Metaphors are useful tools for explaining novel concepts. In our last post, we explained Decentralized Finance (DeFi) through that method. Now, it is time to go one step further and learn what "staking" is and how it differs from "liquid staking." Are you ready 👀?

Do you know what DeFi is 👀? I bet you are curious, so let's get you up and running in an area of Web3 called Decentralized Finance!
