Tess,

Love your explanation of Bitcoin, blockchain, hashes, cryptography, etc. Sure helps me to understand things better. Certainly get the idea of hash the noun, but hash the verb — a little unsure what that is all about. Taking a “whatever” and converting to a hash (number) seems mysterious. Something else I don’t get is if the puppy’s hash is totally different from the puppy w/ flea’s hash, how can FB (or whoever) determine that these are essentially the same photo? (Or maybe they do not make that determination — maybe just my assumption). Is part 3 ready?
