Abstract: The goal of this Master's Final Essay is to accomplish a deeper knowledge about Bitcoin and Blockchain technologies. For this purpose I studied the principles of the Bitcoin network operational system, its design, organization and basic structure: transactions, blocks and blockchains, the advantages of peer-to-peer system versus the traditional one and the benefits of these technologies and current and future applications. After that I focused in the blockchain technology in general showing its actual applications and possible future ones. I also worked about the Smart Contracts concept and the mechanism of agreement in blockchain, its strengths and flaws. I reviewed the differences between public and private blockchain and investigate deeper in cryptography and security topics. Finally I completed the essay adding information about other blockchains.
