What is Crypto? | Become Crypto Confident Ep: 1

What is crypto?

Cryptocurrencies are digital currencies where the “crypto” in the name comes from the fact that these currencies are secured by cryptography. They exist on a public ledger, which is known as a blockchain.

These two characteristics make them extremely difficult to counterfeit.

There are many cryptocurrencies, and their values are changing all the time. The two best-known cryptos are Bitcoin and Ether.

Like traditional (or fiat) currency, cryptocurrencies can be used to buy, send, exchange, invest, trade, hold, lend, and borrow.

But because they’re decentralized and digital, they can do much more than traditional currencies, unlocking tremendous opportunities that simply weren’t possible before.

One of the most important functions of cryptocurrencies is fueling blockchains.

A blockchain is a connected network of nodes run by computers, and in exchange for running those nodes, those computers (or, more specifically, the people who own them) get rewarded with cryptocurrency.
