Are you new to the world of cryptocurrencies? This guidepost is just for you.
What are cryptocurrencies?
Cryptocurrencies are named after their use of cryptography and mathematical algorithm. The primary functions of cryptocurrencies are as follows: they are decentralised, transparent, unchanging, and safe, thanks to blockchain technology.
What do decentralization and deregulation mean?
Cryptocurrencies do not know the boundaries and regulations of traditional fiat currencies; it is also the reason why they are gaining in popularity every day. For example, the bitcoin network is not controlled by a single central authority, and thus no central authority can influence monetary policy. Transactions are processed by computers that mine bitcoin.
Are cryptocurrencies deflationary?
Most countries have the right to issue new money. As money in circulation increases, the currency depreciates (inflation). In the case of bitcoins, the total amount of money in circulation is final and known in advance; it cannot exceed 21 million bitcoins. Therefore, we speak of bitcoin as the deflationary currency.
Are cryptocurrencies anonymous?
The anonymity of transactions is an advantage, but on the other hand, virtual currencies allow illegal trading. Some cryptocurrencies are fully anonymous, with a priority on absolute privacy.
What is a blockchain?
Blockchain is a decentralized database containing all transactions of a specific cryptocurrency.
Blockchain is a new technology used by most cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin. In the blockchain network, the entering of individual information is stored in blocks.
These blocks are created by miners and then interconnected according to defined cryptographic rules. Blockchain is also called an open ledger that no one can manipulate, thanks to its decentralized nature.
Bitcoin
The oldest cryptocurrency called digital gold
Bitcoin was developed in 2009. Thanks to blockchain technology, it is the first decentralized cryptocurrency to start a revolution globally.
Its creator is still anonymous, and we only know it under Satoshi Nakamoto's pseudonym.
Bitcoin is also known as digital gold and, due to its deflationary nature, with clearly defined conditions, is a store of value for many.
