So this is my frustration with pretty much all of your content that I have been able to take so far; you will explain a topic and practice a very simple barebones exercise and then move on immediately to a completely new way of performing a task with no explanation or pre-disposition to said topic.

This learning is a roadblock because it does not explain this new blockchain API that we are importing and using, nor does it explain why we are importing and using it.

There are suddenly new methods such as add_block and print_blocks that have never been mentioned or referenced to before. Every single course I take is like this. Basic understanding of a concept, use the concept, move on to a new concept without any explanation so you get stuck and have no idea how to move forward.
