A cryptocurrency
is a digital internet-based, virtual currency medium of
exchange which uses cryptography to secure, conduct and verify
transactions as well as to control the creation of new units of a
particular cryptocurrency. Using the blockchain technology to gain
decentralization and transparency, cryptocurrencies are
limited
block entries in a database with a very secure complex system that
cannot be altered in anyone's favour and if that is to happen the
system will neutralize and protect other transactions.
In the 90's some innovative individuals and companies once created some
digital currencies but due security and loopholes in the systems the
digital currencies failed. In the new millenium, precisely in 2009 an
anonymous developer known as Satoshi Nakamoto created a blockchain
based cryptocurrency known as Bitcoin. This new currency is the leading
currency in the cryptocurrency market in terms of market value, mined
coins, perfomance, stability and more. Bitcoin however has inspired
thousands of other new alternative cryptocurrencies to be created in
the quest to dominate the new age future currency, but out of the
thousands new currencies many of them have failed due to various
reasons as scams, fraud, insecure etc...
Cryptocurrencies are your traditional type of currency known as FIAT,
theycan be traded just as the USD, POUND, EURO, YEN etc.., with a
cryptocurrency you can shop online and also buy goods and services
offline. You can also invest using a cryptocurrency and even keep it in
a savings account to earn interest.
How do you get a cryptocurrency you may ask? Sure, this is a very
important question and to answer I will start from the top using
Bitcoin. So after creating the blockchain and everything needed for
this currency to function, the process of creating a Bitcoin involved
using a computer to start a process called mining to create a coin. So
evry cryptocurrency can only be created by mining using computers, not
the old fashion way of printing paper. Each cryptocurrency has a unique
address that is kept securely in a wallet as the address allows you to
receive and send cryptocurrency to merchants and your peers, to
understand more on wallets go here.
There is now tonnes of information available today on the internet
about cryptocurrencies including information about each cryptocurrency.
I will not be able to put all the necessary information here but I will
let you visit the websites with credible, useful and good information
about cryptocurrencies.
