Cryptocurrency is a digital currency that uses cryptography to secure transactions, control access, and verify transactions. Cryptocurrencies have been around since 2009 and were designed to solve problems associated with traditional forms of money. Traditional currencies are issued by governments and banks who use them to store value and make payments. These central authorities often charge high fees in order to cover their operating costs. In contrast, cryptocurrencies do not require any third party involvement and operate independently without any centralized governing body.

 2. Blockchain Technology

 Blockchain technology is what makes cryptocurrencies possible. It is a distributed ledger system that records transactions across many computers at once. All of these computers belong to different organizations called nodes. Each node verifies each transaction using cryptography and stores the blockchain data online. By design, blockchains are decentralized and cannot be tampered with. Because they don’t rely on a single authority, blockchains are highly resistant to cyber attacks.

 3. Mining

 Mining is the process of adding blocks of verified transactions to the blockchain. Miners compete with each other to add blocks to the chain first. Once a miner adds a block, they win cryptocurrency rewards and transaction fees. To generate enough revenue, miners need to increase the number of transactions per second (TPS) on their network. TPS is determined by how fast the computer can complete cryptographic calculations. As more people adopt cryptocurrency, mining becomes more competitive and requires faster hardware.

 4. ICO

 An Initial Coin Offering, or ICO, is similar to crowdfunding except that instead of raising funds from investors, companies raise funds by issuing their own tokens. An ICO provides companies with an opportunity to fund their projects by selling tokens to early adopters. Companies offer large sums of money in return for small amounts of cryptocurrency. Unlike crowdfunding, where backers invest based on pre-determined goals, ICO participants purchase tokens based on the project’s success.

 5. Wallet

 A wallet is a place where users store their coins. Wallets range from desktop applications to mobile apps. Desktop wallets are software programs installed on a user’s personal computer. Mobile wallets are applications downloaded onto a smartphone. Both types of wallets provide security services including encryption, authentication, and offline storage. Users should take advantage of these features to protect their coins.

 6. Exchange

 Exchanges allow users to trade cryptocurrencies. There are two categories of exchanges: centralized and decentralized. Decentralized exchanges run off of blockchain technology while centralized exchanges store user information in databases. Centralized exchanges are less secure than decentralized exchanges. However, they are easier to use and have lower trading fees. Popular centralized exchanges include Coinbase, Gemini, Binance, and Kraken.

 7. Altcoin

 Altcoins are alternative cryptocurrencies besides Bitcoin. Altcoins are considered “altruistic” because they are created to improve upon Bitcoin’s weaknesses. Examples of altcoins include Litecoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Dash, Monero, ZCash, and Dogecoin.
