### Understanding **blockchain** is way easier if you think of it as an onion. An interesting explanation for technology noobs like me.

> ## Things to bear in mind
>Of course, this is an intentionally simple and non-technical perspective on blockchain as a series of layers. However, it should highlight to everyone, in someway, how different aspects of the blockchain should be thought of.

>Change something in one layer and there may be knock-on consequences in the layer above or below.

**Understanding blockchain is way easier if you think of it as an onion**

Blockchain has more than two layers, in fact, it can be split down to as many as five layers. Let me explain what this all means.

Zwiebeln wird ja auch eine aphrodisierende Wirkung nachgesagt. Ich glaube, zumindest im Jahre 2017 galt das auch für die Blockkette. Ist was drann, oder? ;-)

Absolut, man muss zu allem ein erotisches Verhältnis aufbauen, dann mag man es auch... Zwiebeln war mir neu.
