What is a cryptocurrency?
A cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography for security. A cryptocurrency is difficult to counterfeit because of this security feature. Many cryptocurrencies are decentralized systems based on blockchain technology, a distributed ledger enforced by a disparate network of computers. A defining feature of a cryptocurrency, and arguably its biggest allure, is its organic nature; it is not issued by any central authority, rendering it theoretically immune to government interference or manipulation.
Cryptocurrencies are systems that allow for secure payments online which are denominated in terms of virtual “tokens,” representable in digital form and which can be transferred, stored or traded electronically. Bitcoin, the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, was created in 2009 and uses encryption techniques to control the creation of new bitcoins and to also verify the transfer of funds between parties.
