#DinnerWithTrump Cryptocurrency is a form of digital money that operates on decentralized networks using blockchain technology. Unlike traditional currencies controlled by governments, crypto is maintained by a distributed ledger system, making transactions secure, transparent, and resistant to fraud. Bitcoin, the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, launched in 2009, paving the way for thousands of other digital coins like Ethereum, Solana, and Dogecoin. Crypto offers opportunities for investment, decentralized finance (DeFi), and innovation in sectors like gaming and art (via NFTs). However, it’s also known for its volatility and regulatory uncertainty. As the crypto space evolves, it continues to disrupt traditional financial systems.
