What is cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrency is a digital asset for the digital age. They are often described as decentralized, which means they operate separately to a central authority, such as a bank or financial institute.
Instead, cryptocurrency operates through peer-to-peer networks, where each transaction is recorded on a public ledger which exists on the blockchain. This means that every transaction can be independently verified to keep the network safe and secure.
