> That is most accurate description of blockchain I have read.

It might interest you to know then that the short, digestible 8 page whitepaper on Bitcoin, which originally described the blockchain, specifically used this definition. It's the most accurate because it is what a blockchain was designed for. I recommend giving it a read and ignoring any project which doesn't follow its core tenants.

Latin "He holds"; imported to English, if refers to a belief (which is something you hold), e.g. tenets of the Catholic Church.

I have read that whitepaper. That was the first think I read when I started researching about the whole crypto and blockchain space. And this is the culmination of my research https://bit.ly/3OB5G18

I'm sure that that is a wonderful paper, behind a paywall.
