Cryptocurrency, or crypto, is a type of digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography for security. Unlike traditional currencies, it operates on decentralized networks based on blockchain technology. The most well-known cryptocurrency is Bitcoin, but many others, like Ethereum, exist. Cryptocurrencies are not controlled by any central authority, such as a government or bank, which makes them resistant to interference and censorship. They are used for a variety of purposes, from online transactions to investment opportunities.
