What is a cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrencies are digital assets designed to function as a medium of exchange, without the need for banks or governments. They are based on blockchain technology, which is a public and immutable ledger. The most famous is Bitcoin, but there are thousands like Ethereum, Litecoin, or PepeCoin.
Imagine a unique digital file that cannot be copied, counterfeited, or spent twice. That is a cryptocurrency. It is protected by advanced cryptography and stored in digital wallets that you control. You do not need a bank account to use them, just access to the internet.
Cryptos are born to provide financial freedom, reduce fees, speed up transactions, and avoid intermediaries. Some see them as investments, others as a means of payment, and many as a financial revolution.
💬 Why are so many people betting on them? Because they provide total control over your money, and that is something the traditional system cannot match.
