The blockchain is the record. The network is the means by which all interested parties stay updated on the state of the record.

Alright, here's the lowdown:

The #Bitcoin network is like the whole system - all the computers (nodes) connected together. They're running Bitcoin software and talking to each other, making sure everything's legit.

The Bitcoin blockchain is like a record book that this network maintains. It's a chain of blocks where each block contains a bunch of transactions that have been verified by the network.

So think of it this way:

- Network = city

- Blockchain = ledger at city hall

They work together to make sure your digital gold moves smoothly and stays secure!
