>why is everyone shitting himself over it?
because people don't understand it when it's explained to them, so it must be the future

It's a database. That's it. That's all it is. Due to the nature of the hype machine, 'doing blockchain' is currently like having a dotcom website in 1999: nobody knows what it is, what it's for or what it does, but as long as the music's playing you gotta dance.

Decentralized way of using and sending money.
A way to keep (((them))) from fucking us over with inflation.
A bank can tell you what you can or can't buy. They can give you whatever interest rates they please. They can freeze your funds over nothing.
Fun fact: the current average wage in the USA has the same buying power of the average wage in 1979.
Yet average job productivity is up 40% from 1979. WHO could have benefited from this turn of events?
We've been fucked over hard.

blockchain is the new 2018 tech buzzword like THE CLOUD used to be some years ago.

Its like theres this chain of blocks. Everybody has the exact same one. So there are multiple copies of the chain.
Each block on the chain has a math number attached to it. If you change what the block has inside it, you change the number for that block. This will break the whole block chain because the number of the next block is calculated using the number of the previous block.
This combination of everyone having the same chain, and all the blocks having to verify each other through math, makes it highly secure.
Thats why people care about blockchain.
