In proof of work consensus, why might increasing block creation speed potentially reduce security?
More energy is consumed
Fewer miners participate
More forks occur, reducing certainty of transaction order
Processing costs increase
Why is decentralization considered a fundamental property of blockchain?
It makes the system faster
It reduces operational costs
It eliminates single points of failure and control
It simplifies system maintenance
How does blockchain technology's approach to trust differ from traditional banking systems?
It relies on mathematical proof rather than institutional trust
It requires more trust between parties
It centralizes trust in a single authority
It eliminates the need for any verification

A single company's internal database
A simple two-party transaction
A complex multi-party supply chain with trust issues
A personal record keeping system
How does proof of stake (PoS) address the environmental concerns of proof of work?
By using renewable energy sources
By requiring less computational power and energy
By limiting the number of transactions
By using more efficient computers
What makes consortium blockchains different from public blockchains?
They are faster
They use different programming languages
They are controlled by a select group of organizations
They don't use cryptocurrency
In healthcare applications, how could blockchain improve patient care?
By making doctors more skilled
By reducing medication costs
By enabling secure sharing of medical records across providers
By automating diagnoses
