Did you know that the term "blockchain" was first coined by Stuart Haber and W. Scott Stornetta in 1991? They used it to describe a system where a sequence of blocks was used to record transactions in a secure and transparent way. The concept was initially developed for secure timestamping, but it didn't take long for the idea to evolve into the decentralized ledger technology we know today.
