How is this different from git?


What makes git different from a blockchain? A blockchain is a data structure, and a data structure doesn’t change based on who has permission to write to it.


Those terms don’t have the meanings you’re using. Being a data structure is not a distinguishing factor – try finding a common definition which excludes Git – and there’s no definition of the term which excludes modifications.


I’m not sure why you’re trying to say. The data structure is immutable by design. You can’t modify a git commit. But you haven’t answered my question. What’s the difference between a blockchain, and git?
