How does Ethereum actually work? A technical write-up

Sorry for the shamless plug, but please check out my website with my detailed writeup of Ethereum. From merkle-patricia-tries, to the EVM, encryption libraries, and more. I hope you enjoy it, and if there's information that's missing, needs more explanation, or is wrong please let me know so I can improve for my own sake

Ethereum is the world’s decentralized-computer. It is the most intricate blending of computer-science, governance, sociology, and economics. However, it’s scale brings with it huge amounts of complexity. Understanding how it works requires a detailed understanding of data-structures, cryptography, theoretical-computation, and much more. But, when you break things down into their individual parts, it’s not too difficult. Keep reading, and you will discover exactly what makes this machine tick, and how you can get the most out of interacting with it.
