What is cryptocurrency & how it works?

Cryptocurrency is something that is growing popular nowadays and people are learning about it. I am writing this blog post because I feel as though most of us know a little or nothing about it. So today, I am going to be sharing with you what cryptocurrency actually is and how you can earn more of it.

Cryptocurrency is a digital currency. Basically, it's a way of securely sending payments across the internet using cryptography. These payments don't rely on a third party like Visa or MasterCard to process transactions, which makes cryptocurrencies more secure than traditional financial transactions.

Through the technology, cryptocurrencies can be sent from one person to another without needing a traceable payment method such as an Internet banking account or a mailing address. The only thing you need in order to receive cryptocurrency is an unspent private key—a piece of information that is needed in order to spend cryptocurrency.

The cryptocurrency industry is a rapidly growing industry, and it's something that many people consider to be making a lot of money. But cryptocurrency isn't new to this world. In fact, it's been around since 2009. In 2017, there were an estimated 60,000 cryptocurrency wallets worldwide. These are extremely popular especially among those who don't have access to a traditional financial institution. In turn, these wallets help people keep their privacy and increase their security so they can transact with any asset regardless of whether it's from an exchange or a physical store.

How to buy cryptocurrencies?

Firstly, let me tell you about the popular crypto exchange platforms in the world.

• Coinbase
• Binance
• Gemini
• Robinhood
• Kraken
• eToro
• Crypto.com

In India, these apps- WazirX, Zebpay, Coinswitch Kuber, and CoinDCX GO are the top cryptocurrency exchange platforms.

Investors can download these applications from Google Play Store or App Store. They simply need to join utilizing their credentials, complete the KYC interaction, transfer cash to the crypto wallet, and make the purchase. There isn’t any restriction on what we can purchase and how much. The investors can begin with as low as they need to. The purchase is finished within a few minutes after transferring money to the wallet. In this way, people can buy cryptocurrencies.

If you want to make a payment with cryptocurrency, you must download a special software program called a cryptocurrency wallet. It is run by a decentralized network of computers making periodic checks to ensure that your balance is not too large or too small. A cryptocurrency wallet is software that permits you to move funds starting with one record then onto the next. To finish a transaction, you need admittance to a secret key, known as a private key. The private key is similar to a bank account. You can claim different keys and own every one of the funds sent to those keys.  A public ledger is used to record transactions.
