Cryptocurrency and blockchain
Cryptocurrency is not a tangible currency that can be carried with you, but a digital asset that can be exchanged“ The "encryption" part comes from using encryption technology for security and authentication ring a transaction
when using cryptocurrency for exchange instead of legal tender, crypto owners do not have to rely on banks to facilitate transactions, and can successfully avoid the costs of using financial institutions
generally, cryptocurrency transactions are processed and completed through the blockchain network. The blockchain is designed to be decentralized, so each computer connected to the network must successfully confirm the transaction before it can process it. Ideally, this would create a more secure transaction for all involved. It can also cause you to wait for a while; One of the big complaints about bitcoin is how long it takes to complete the transaction
domestic cryptocurrencies include bitcoin, Ethernet, Leyte and e-dinarcoin

bitcoin is the most well-known blockchain as an encryption currency that uses blockchain technology to realize alternative payment. Bitcoin is a kind of unlicensed blockchain, also known as public blockchain, which does not restrict the identity of users who consume bitcoin or participate in verifying the authenticity of transfer blocks in the blockchain (an energy intensive process, also known as "mining"). These miners get token, or bitcoin, in return, and given that everyone can view the block (though anonymously), the blockchain itself is somewhat transparent
bitcoin is controversial and banned by many countries e to user anonymity to a large extent. However, it is worth noting that the anonymity and energy use of bitcoin are its own characteristics, not the characteristics of the whole blockchain technology.
At present, there are nearly 2000 cryptocurrencies
in the world
