<p>There are many businesses based on or around Bitcoin. I believe several of them use the word "Blockchain" as part of their name.

<p>Blockchain is also the name used for the data-file that keeps track of Bitcoin movements. Every Bitcoin user has access to a local copy of the blockchain data file.

Generally you need a functioning wallet, a backup you can recover or something called a seed-phrase or a private-key. If you don't have any of these, you probably don't have any Bitcoin money.</p>

<p>Since the bitcoin blockchain is an open chain, you have a public ledger that allows you to query Addresses, Transactions, and Blocks. You can query them in <a href="https://blockchain.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Blockhain.com</a>
.</p>

Are you sure you actually have any bitcoins? It seems much more likely your broker was just scamming you and no actual bitcoins were involved. Did they ever have you create a private key?

There are many businesses based on or around Bitcoin. I believe several of them use the word "Blockchain" as part of their name. One of them is *Blockchain Access UK Ltd* which is [registered in London England](https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/11337627). They were only registered 2 years ago. Their accounts are overdue which is not a good sign. They were [nearly struck off last year](https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/11337627/filing-history) which is also a bad sign. They are trading as [Blockchain.com](https://www.blockchain.com/legal/terms). Perhaps you refer to an account with them? Their website says their wallet service is provided by *Blockchain Luxembourg S.A*

There is no need to have an account with Blockchain.com, you can buy and use Bitcoin without having anything to do with Blockchain.com.

Blockchain is also the name used for the data-file that keeps track of Bitcoin movements. Every Bitcoin user has access to a local copy of the blockchain data file.
