What is cryptocurrency?

Cryptocurrency is a digital (virtual currency) that uses cryptography to secure translations and to control creation of new coins. First crypto currency was created in 2009 and it's called Bitcoin. After Bitcoin success there have been hundreds of other cryptocurrencies and they are called altcoins. Bitcoin uses SHA-256 hashing function and is based of proof-of-work system. Cryptocurrency is free of governmental oversight, the economy monitored by peer-to-peer internet protocol, this makes cryptocurrencies fully decentralized. All translations are processed by miners who are members of general public that uses their computers to validate transactions by finding hash that connects the new block to the old one, this is where term blockchain come in. Every cryptocurrency is different, but most of them share same features, they are anonymous, fast and globally accessible, secure and decentralized. Learn more about cryptocurrency
