General Information about Cryptocurrencies:
Cryptocurrencies are digital or virtual currencies that use cryptography for security. Unlike
traditional fiat currencies issued by governments, cryptocurrencies typically operate on
decentralized technology, most commonly blockchain.
Key Characteristics of Cryptocurrencies:
●​ Decentralization: Most cryptocurrencies are not controlled by a single entity, like a
central bank. Instead, transactions are typically verified by a distributed network of
computers.
●​ Cryptography: Cryptographic techniques secure transactions and control the creation of
new units.
●​ Blockchain Technology: Many cryptocurrencies use blockchain, a distributed ledger
technology that records transactions across many computers. This makes the records
transparent and difficult to alter.
●​ Volatility: The prices of cryptocurrencies can be highly volatile and are influenced by
various factors, including market sentiment, adoption rates, regulatory news, and
technological developments.
●​ Diverse Use Cases: Cryptocurrencies have various potential applications, including as a
medium of exchange, a store of value, and a tool for decentralized applications (dApps)
and decentralized finance (DeFi).
Important Considerations:
Investing in cryptocurrencies involves significant risks, and it's crucial to conduct thorough
research and understand the potential downsides before investing. The regulatory landscape for
cryptocurrencies is still evolving in many parts of the world, which can also impact their value
and usability.
