Cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency is a form of digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography for security. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments, cryptocurrencies operate on decentralized networks based on blockchain technology. This ensures transparency, security, and resistance to tampering. Popular examples include Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple. Cryptocurrencies enable peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries, offer new investment opportunities, and are increasingly used for various applications, from financial transactions to smart contracts and decentralized applications.
