🚀 **Welcome to Crypto 101 with Baghee!**

Your no‑BS, all‑knowledge daily guide to understanding crypto — one simple concept at a time.

Let’s kick things off:

👉 **What is a cryptocurrency?**

It’s digital money that lives on a public network called a **blockchain** — no banks, no middlemen. The original and most famous? **Bitcoin**.

👉 **What are altcoins?**

**Altcoins = “Alternative Coins.”** Any coin that’s *not* Bitcoin.

Each has different goals:

• **Ethereum (ETH)** powers smart contracts

• **Solana (SOL)** delivers lightning-fast transactions

• **Polygon (MATIC)** helps scale Ethereum

🎯 Think of Bitcoin as gold, and altcoins as the startups trying to change the game. Some will soar, some may fall — but understanding them is how you win smart, long-term.

👀 Tomorrow’s post will put your knowledge to the test with a quick quiz. Ready? 🧠🔥
