Blockchain data structure
Today we will discuss about the evolution of blockchain data structure,
at the begining blockchain looks like a block which connect to one another and link together
by a chain, which is a chain of blocks or blockchain.
Sometime there is a split of the chain that create two different paths, this event is called
soft fork, which will be resume to single chain over time, the longest chain will be considered
as a valid chain, while the shorter will be removed.
But when the split is governed by another organization or community,
the two chains will be valid the same and it will fork forever, this event
is called hardfork, when one community disagree with one another and
split into two or more communities.
Blockchain products little throughput, and very slow, so people try to find new kind of
data structure to make it fast, so a new type of data structure is used called DAG
Direct Acyclic Graph which is adopt by many blockchain companies.
Tangle is one of the specific name of DAG data structure
Hashgraph is also another implementation of DAG.
Due to the need for high speed, a seperate network was created side by side to the main network,
which is called lightning network, side chain, or even a parallel network.
During the past 13 years, there are a lot of blockchain companies which were created,
and the need for interconnection is unavoidable, all the blockchains, all the networks in
whatever structures will be connect to one another and form a very complex web of blockchain.
The technolgy continues to growth, and present with different use cases and creativity.

Oh brother you can explain so beautifully I can't imagine I had no idea about blockchain but from now on I will understand how blockchain taki originated and another thing in the next five to ten years Block change will rule the whole world
