Really basic like a) how will my debit card debit my money buying DD coffee?
If I create another book can I "get blockchain" (so to speak) to protect my work? Thus, I will need to make the right choice to be covered under a blockchain or not?
At 50000 ft I get the significance I think. I just cant even come close to explaining it.

Whenever a new transaction is made, in the case of Bitcoin, a new node is created and joined to the linked list.
The bitcoin blockchain is limited in the sense that you can only buy / sell bitcoin. Ethereum is another up and coming blockchain that allows you to write smart contracts (contracts that enforce themselves). There is a whole community of developers working on developing decentralized applications for Ethereum blockchain now.
