What is Cryptocurrency?
In the current monetary system, purchases go through a centralized authority – a Central Bank. Banks and credit card companies take a percentage of every transaction through fees; they also simultaneously collect and retain the user’s personal information. This method of data collection has proven to leave users highly susceptible to fraud after security breaches.
Cryptocurrency was born from an idea to Decentralize money and remove the middleman (Banks and Credit Card Companies). Instead of banks or credit card companies recording every transaction in their central ledgers, cryptocurrency transactions are recorded on a Decentralized ledger or database known as a Blockchain. This allows users to safely transact across a peer-to-peer network without exposing their personal information to potential hackers. Therefore, no single user, Government, or Bank can force their will on transactions within the Blockchain. This limits the control Banks have over the flow of the currency which results in a secure, safe, and easy way to send or receive money.
What is Bitcoin ?
Bitcoin is a type of currency, just like the US Dollar is a type of currency. Cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin, are cryptographically secured through a process called ‘hashing’. Without going into the technicalities, this process allows users to ensure their money is safely sent across a peer-to-peer network without any manipulations. Bitcoin is the most well-known Cryptocurrency and has the highest Market Cap.
