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.

Fascinating! Haber and Stornetta's vision laid the groundwork for what would become blockchain technology. Their focus on secure timestamping was indeed a critical first step towards the decentralized networks we see today.
