Course: Crypto & NFT Basics
Lesson Insights
Cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography to secure and verify transactions as well as to control the creation of new units. Cryptocurrencies operate independently of a central bank and are decentralized, meaning they are not backed by any government or financial institution. Bitcoin, created in 2009, was the first decentralized cryptocurrency and remains the most well-known and widely used to this day.
Cryptocurrencies are typically built on blockchain technology, which is a decentralized and transparent ledger that records transactions across a network of computers. This eliminates the need for a central authority or intermediaries to validate transactions, making the process faster and more secure.
Some of the key benefits of cryptocurrencies include faster and cheaper cross-border transactions, increased financial privacy, and immunity from government intervention and manipulation. However, cryptocurrencies also come with their own set of risks and challenges, such as volatile prices, lack of regulation, and potential for hacks and scams.
Despite these challenges, the popularity and adoption of cryptocurrencies continue to grow, and many experts believe that they will play a significant role in the future of money and finance.
