A distributed ledger is a database that is consensually shared and synchronized across multiple sites, institutions, or geographies, accessible by multiple people. It allows transactions to have public "witnesses." The participant at each node of the network can access the recordings shared across that network and can own an identical copy of it. Any changes, or additions, made to the ledger, are reflected, and copied to all participants in a matter of seconds or minutes.

Blockchain is using the underlying technology of distributed ledgers. Bitcoin is using the underlying technology of Blockchain. Blockchain is a type of distributed ledger used by bitcoin.

Blockchain is the latest buzz words in the market. Bitcoin is great, but the potential of the underlying technology is immense. Something that started as an evolution is soon going to cause a revolution. Investors are cashing in huge amount because they understand the fortune of this ingenious technology is very bright. Industry experts and tech enthusiasts are producing blockchain-based products every next day. So, wait not, and get industry-ready with this book which will describe distributed ledger in depth.
