The Joe Rogan Experience
#2329 - Ehsan Ahmad

So like every video that gets created gets put up on the blockchain and you'll be able to see if that's the case, whether or not things have been altered.

The Joe Rogan Experience

It is, but it's also, well, I don't want to fuck this up, so let's explain the blockchain.

The Joe Rogan Experience

Get me a definition of the blockchain.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2329 - Ehsan Ahmad

Yeah, I'm like a crypto bro trying to be like, no, the blockchain's got it.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2329 - Ehsan Ahmad

No, it's not a good thing.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2329 - Ehsan Ahmad

It's like, you know what it is?

The Joe Rogan Experience

That's how I feel about it.

The Joe Rogan Experience

Because once AI can do every job, what are people going to do?

The Joe Rogan Experience

A blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger that records transactions across a network of computers in a secure, transparent, and tamper-resistant way.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2329 - Ehsan Ahmad

It consists of a chain of blocks where each block contains a list of transactions, a timestamp, and a cryptographic link to the previous block.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2329 - Ehsan Ahmad

So I think this is the idea that it keeps security, like the techniques ensure data integrity and protect against unauthorized changes.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2329 - Ehsan Ahmad

So you're basically logging exactly the time.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2329 - Ehsan Ahmad

It's like a transaction.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2329 - Ehsan Ahmad

Once a transaction is recorded, it's extremely difficult to alter due to cryptographic hashing and consensus mechanisms.
