Basic Concepts of Cryptocurrency
Cryptocurrency is a type of digital currency based on blockchain technology, characterized by decentralization, anonymity, and global circulation. Bitcoin (BTC) is the first cryptocurrency, created by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009. Since then, thousands of tokens such as Ethereum (ETH) and Binance Coin (BNB) have emerged. Cryptocurrencies are not issued by banks or governments but maintain network security through consensus mechanisms (such as PoW and PoS). Despite their extreme price volatility, supporters believe they are an important part of the future financial system, while critics express concerns about their speculative nature and regulatory risks.
