#CryptoStocks cryptocurrency is a digital payment system that doesn't rely on banks to verify transactions. It's a peer-to-peer (P2P) sharing system that allows anyone to send and receive payments anywhere. It's not physical money carried or exchanged in the real world: cryptocurrency payments are purely virtual entries made into an online database and corresponding to specific transactions. When you transfer funds in cryptocurrency, the transactions are recorded on a public ledger. Cryptocurrencies are stored in digital wallets.
