A friend of mine just emailed me this, and it's amazing. Since 2013 I've been finding better and better videos explaining bitcoin and blockchain technology.
This, I think, may be the best explanation of a blockchain I've ever seen. It's 17 minutes long, but it actually goes through the details of what's happening on the distributed ledger and why it's immutable and trustworthy. Even if someone doesn't understand what a hash algorithm is, this video explains things from start to finish.
I love seeing great educators put stuff like this together.

I tweeted at Anders and will share the liquid rewards of this post (SB and STEEM) with him when he creates an account here.
Thanks for posting my video - glad it seems to be helpful!

I hope you get a chance to poke around here a bit too. I'd love to see similar videos on graphene databases and the blockchain technology which powers BitShares/Steemit.
Giving you a follow now.

Welcome to Steem, Anders! I think this video is a great thing to share here, as Steem is a blockchain network with the purpose of onboarding the non-crypto geeks into the new possibilities of blockchains/cryptocurrency/smart money.
What do you think of this near-real-time, text content containing blockchain?

I was just about to post the same video to steemit and thought someone must have found it already, so I did a search and found your post. As you say it is a great intro to the whole blockchain concept explained very clearly. I have some followers who are new to the whole crypto world and this would be great for them to see. I can't resteem it to my blog but I'll write a post and direct people to this. Thanks for posting.

I teach blockchain to others, just only to keep myself abreast with the developments in Blockchain and Crypto Assets.
The practice of writing posts on Steemit to experience a DaApp is also taken up with the same intention (Teaching to be abreast with the latest!)
It is a good practice to check for the post that has resembles the post that I want to post. Will be at it.
Once again, thanks for the post @lukestokes.

Have you tried Googling for an answer? SHA256 is the hashing algorithm used in the bitcoin blockchain.
