What is crypto currency?


At their core, cryptocurrencies are decentralized digital currencies that are usually designed to be used over the internet. Launched in 2008, Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency and is still the biggest, most influential, and best-known cryptocurrency. In the decade since then, other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum have offered a digital alternative to money printed by governments.
The most popular cryptocurrencies by market volume are Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin. Other well-known cryptocurrencies include Tezos, EOS, and ZCash. Some are similar to Bitcoin. Others are based on different technologies or have new features that allow them to do more than transfer value.
Cryptocurrencies make it possible to transfer value online without the need for an intermediary such as a bank or payment processor, allowing value to be transferred almost instantly, 24/7 for low fees.
Cryptocurrencies are generally not issued or controlled by any government or other central authority. Cryptos are managed by peer-to-peer networks of computers running free and sourced software. In general, anyone who wantsC knows partiatentStar#.
How can crypto be safe if a bank or government isn't involved? It is secure because all transactions are reviewed by a technology called blockchain. #ContentStar#
