What you need to know about cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency is created to become a medium of exchange between people through the use of the internet. Unlike traditional currencies, cryptocurrency isn’t issued by the government or any banks. It uses cryptography which is why the process of exchanging and purchasing is almost untrackable because it converts all this information into a code.

What makes cryptocurrency ideal is its decentralised technology that allows users to settle their payments without having to provide their name and go through a lot of processes just to secure their transactions. The information it gets is stored in the blockchain. This platform allows digital information to be passed but not edited. Each block represents a transaction, making the blockchain a collection of blocks as a whole. This makes any transaction using cryptocurrency safe and fool-proof.
