Blockchain

What crypto means by it

A shared record of transactions that many independent computers keep in step, where entries are appended and never quietly edited. That is the whole invention.

What you already know this as

A ledger. The novelty is not the ledger, it is that no single institution owns the copy everyone agrees on.
