Excellent article, thank you for taking the time to write this up! One cool example of conveying the hash-of-a-hash idea is the color-mixing theory found in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SMliFtoPn8 . It helped us understand the idea of the new hash being a mix of the previous effectively. You could include that same concept in your visualization!
Great idea, thanks for the suggestion!
A follow-up post on how forks work (soft-forks and hard-forks) would be pretty timely 
Already on it

I agree!

I agree!
This is brilliant- I've had to explain this to people using a whiteboard and I've just ended up with blank expressions. Bookmarked, and will be shared- you've just got yourself a regular reader, keep up the good work.
Thank you for the kind words!

Thanks, we've added that to the list of topics! Will send you a note when it's out.
Awesome! Thanks for that, I'll be on the lookout.

That was an informative article! Thanks for putting in the time for this.

And I'm sure it would answer a lot of people's questions these days!
Keep it up, this is the kind of content we need.

You hear about them alot on technical crypto forums, and maybe in a Vitalik speech .. but what the heck are they?
