🌐 Module 1 – Video 7: Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Networks | The Foundation of Blockchain Communication
Welcome to Video 7 of the Complete Blockchain Course!
How can Bitcoin operate without a bank? How can thousands of computers around the world work together without a central server? The answer lies in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Networks.
In this video, we explore one of the most important concepts behind blockchain technology. You'll learn how P2P networks work, how peers communicate directly with each other, how information spreads across decentralized networks, and why blockchain systems such as Bitcoin and Ethereum depend on Peer-to-Peer communication.
📚 Topics Covered:
✅ What is a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Network?
✅ Why P2P Networks Were Created
✅ Understanding a Peer
✅ Client-Server vs Peer-to-Peer
