WHAT IS CRYPTOCURRENCY?
Simply put, cryptocurrencies (also known as digital currencies, cryptos, virtual assets, or digital assets) are digital forms of currencies. They can be used to pay for goods and services just like conventional currencies. Like how the traditional forms of currencies can be traded against each other on the forex, cryptocurrencies can also be traded against specific pairs on specialized platforms called cryptocurrency exchanges.
The difference is that, unlike conventional currencies such as the U.S. dollar, cryptocurrencies are often not controlled by a single entity. They are also secured using complex cryptography coupled with a new form of online public ledger called a blockchain. It is distributed to anyone and everyone interested in having a copy. More than 21,960 cryptocurrencies currently exist at the time of writing.
