Advantages and disadvantages of BlockChain
The fact that the BlockChain is a distributed database makes it particularly useful in certain respects. Distributed applications run on networked computers. They coordinate their actions by passing messages between different instances of the application or through shared memory. This allows them to have a higher level of availability than “classic” applications. In addition, they cope better with outages that isolate one part of the network from its other parts.
These advantages do not come without some disadvantages. It can be complicated to keep data in a BlockChain database. Indeed, there is no guarantee that an update performed in one place will also be performed on other parts of the network. This means that theoretically someone could spend the same bitcoin more than once . Fortunately, the way the Bitcoin blockchain records transactions is designed to solve this problem.
