Curious Facts about the Crypto World that You Probably Didn't Know📌

Cryptocurrencies are no longer just a topic of conversation among technology enthusiasts or risky investors. With each passing year, the crypto ecosystem gains more space in our lives. But beyond what is seen in headlines or price charts, the world of cryptos is full of curious and surprising facts. Here’s a selection you might not have known:

1. Bitcoin can be sent without the Internet

That's right. There are technologies that allow sending Bitcoin using radio waves or even text messages (SMS). This capability is particularly useful in areas without Internet access or during power outages.

2. There are “meme” cryptocurrencies with real value

Dogecoin started as a joke in 2013, inspired by a meme of a Shiba Inu dog. However, over time (and several tweets from Elon Musk), it managed to reach a market capitalization of billions of dollars.

3. There are cryptocurrency ATMs

Yes, there are more than 30,000 ATMs around the world where you can buy or sell cryptocurrencies like $BTC or $ETH . Some even allow you to withdraw cash.

4. Cryptos consume more energy than entire countries

Mining $BTC requires so much energy that at times it has consumed more electricity than countries like Argentina or Sweden. That's why projects have emerged that seek more sustainable ways to validate transactions, such as proof of stake.

5. There are tokens for almost everything

Beyond popular coins, there are tokens that represent everything from digital art (NFTs) to real estate, streaming services, video games, and even memes. Literally, the crypto world is tokenizing almost everything.
