When most people think about cryptocurrency, they can also think about cryptocurrency. It seems very few people know what it is, and for some reason everyone talks about it as if they know it. We hope that this report demysstifies all aspects of cryptocurrency, so that by the time you finish reading, you’ll have a pretty good idea of what it is and what it is.
You will find that cryptocurrency is for you or perhaps not for you, but at least you can speak with a certain degree of confidence and knowledge that others will not possess.
Many people have already achieved the status of millionaires, trading cryptocurrency. Obviously, there is a lot of money in this new industry.
Cryptocurrency is electronic money, short and simple. However, what is not so short and simple is exactly how it becomes valuable.
Cryptocurrency is a digital, virtual and decentralized currency produced by cryptography, which, according to Merriam Webster’s dictionary, represents “automatic encryption and decryption of information.” Cryptography is the basis for debit cards, computer banking and e-commerce systems.
Cryptocurrency is not supported by banks; it is supported not by the government, but by an extremely complex system of algorithms. Cryptocurrency is electricity encoded by complex sets of algorithms. What money costs is their complexity and protection from hackers. The way to create a cryptocurrency is too difficult to reproduce.
Cryptocurrency is diametrically opposed to what is called fiat money. Fiat money is a currency whose value is determined by state rules or legislation. An example is the dollar, yen and euro. Any currency defined as a legitimate means of payment is a paper currency.
Unlike paper money, another part of the value of cryptocurrency is that, as in the case of such commodities as silver and gold, their quantity is limited. Only 21,000,000 such extremely complex algorithms have been created. No more, no less. It can’t be changed by printing more as the government prints more money to pump up the system unaided. Or the bank is modifying the digital ledger that the Federal Reserve will ask banks to do to make an adjustment to inflation.
Cryptocurrency is a way of buying, selling and investing, which completely excludes the tracking of your money by both government surveillance and banking systems. In a destabilized global economy, this system can become a stable force.
Cryptocurrency also gives you great anonymity. Unfortunately, this can lead to abuse by a criminal element that uses cryptocurrency for its own purposes, just as ordinary money can be used. However, it can also prevent the government from tracking your purchases and invading your privacy.
Cryptocurrencies come in many forms. Bitcoin was the first and is the standard on which all other cryptocurrencies are formed. All of them are made through careful letter-digital calculations using a sophisticated coding tool. Some other cryptocurrencies are Litecoin, Namecoin, Peercoin, Dogecoin and Worldcoin, and these are just a few. They are usually called altcoins. Prices for each of them are regulated by the supply of a particular cryptocurrency and market demand for this currency.
The way to create a cryptocurrency is very exciting. Unlike gold, which must be mined from scratch, cryptocurrency is just a record in a virtual book stored on various computers around the world. These elements need to be “extracted” using mathematical algorithms. Individual users or, more likely, a group of users perform computer analysis to find certain datasets, also known as blocks. Miners find data that creates an accurate model of the cryptographic algorithm. At this point it will be applied to the series and they found the block. When the equivalent dataset in the block corresponds to the algorithm, the data block is not encrypted. The miner receives a reward in the form of a certain amount of cryptocurrency. Over time, the amount of remuneration decreases, as the cryptocurrency becomes scarce. In addition, the complexity of algorithms increases when searching for new blocks. From a computer point of view, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find the relevant series. These two scenarios combine to reduce the speed of cryptocurrency creation. This simulates the complexity and limited production of commodities such as gold.
Now anyone can become a minor. The creators of Bitcoin have made the mining tool open, so it’s free for everyone. However, the computers they use work around the clock, 7. Algorithms are extremely complex and the processor is running at full speed. Many users have specialized computers specially designed for cryptocurrency mining. Both the user and the dedicated computer are considered minors.
Miners (people) also keep records of transactions and act as auditors so that no coins are duplicated. This protects the system from hacking and madness. They are paid for this work, weekly receiving a new cryptocurrency, which they serve. They store their cryptocurrency in specialized files on their computers or other personal devices. These files are called wallets.
Let’s sum up by looking at some of the definitions we’ve studied:
Cryptocurrency: electronic money; also called the digital currency.
Fiduciary currency: any currency that is legal tender; supported by the state, used in the banking system.
Bitcoin: the original gold standard of cryptocurrency.
Altcoin: other cryptocurrencies that have a model of the same processes as Bitcoin, but with small variations in their encoding.
Minors: an individual or a group of individuals who use their own resources (computers, electricity, space) to mine digital coins.
o Also a specialized computer specifically designed to find new coins by calculating a number of algorithms.
Wallet: A small file on your computer in which you store your digital money.
Describe the cryptocurrency system in a nutshell:
Electronic money.
It is managed by individuals who use their own resources to find spare parts.
A stable and final monetary system. For example, only 21 million bitcoins are produced forever.
It does not require the government or the bank to work.
The price is determined by the number of coins found and used, combined with the population’s demand for their ownership.
There are different forms of cryptocurrency, primarily bitcoin.
It can bring great wealth, but like any other investment, it is risky.
