💡 A helpful way to understand the difference between a node and a blockchain is to think of a single document and a whole community.

☝️ Imagine a blockchain as a public document that records relevant community events. Nodes are like individuals in the community, each having a copy of the document. They verify that new entries are accurate before adding them to their copy. This network of individuals ensures the document is reliable and tamper-proof.

🎯 In short, a blockchain needs nodes to function, but they are not the same as the blockchain itself.
