What is the role of smart contracts in blockchain technology?
- Self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement directly written into lines of code
- Contracts that are enforced by a central authority
- Contracts that are stored on a blockchain
- Contracts that are used to facilitate transactions between two parties
What is the difference between a public blockchain and a private blockchain?
- Public blockchains are open to anyone, while private blockchains are restricted to a specific group of participants
- Public blockchains are more secure than private blockchains
- Public blockchains are more scalable than private blockchains
- Public blockchains are more expensive to operate than private blockchains
What is the consensus mechanism used in Bitcoin?
