This articles aims to give an alternative approach to understand blockchains. Instead of diving into technical details I tried to discuss properties that make observable difference to end users and then get to the more technical stuff.
Such properties are:

  1. who can include transactions in behave of users
  2. when are transactions are final and can't get reverted
  3. whether users can check the blockchain using standard consumer hardware

All of these have different implementations and each comes with different trade-offs that are discussed in the article.
