The Crypto, short for cryptocurrency, refers to digital or virtual currency secured by cryptography, making it nearly impossible to counterfeit or double-spend. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments and central banks, cryptocurrencies are decentralized and typically operate on blockchain technology—a distributed ledger enforced by a network of computers. The most well-known cryptocurrency is Bitcoin, created in 2009, followed by others like Ethereum, Solana, and Ripple. Cryptocurrencies allow for peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries like banks. They are used for various purposes, including investment, remittances, online purchases, and to revolutionize finance and technology globally, gaining both popularity and adoption.
