Cryptocurrency is a digital asset that doesn't have a physical form, but has value and can be traded like money. Many people ask: where does crypto actually come from? Here are some of the main ways to get cryptocurrency:

⸻
1. Buying on an Exchange (The Most Common Method)
The easiest way to get crypto is to buy it on an exchange platform like Binance, Tokocrypto, Coinbase, and others.
We simply:
• Register an account
• Deposit money (rupiah/dollar)
• Buy crypto like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, etc.
This is similar to buying gold or stocks, only in the form of digital assets.

⸻
2. Mining (Crypto Mining)
Mining is the process of validating transactions on a blockchain network using specialized computers. In return, miners receive crypto.
However:
• Requires a powerful computer and a large amount of electricity
• Now more suitable for large-scale/enterprise use
• Not all crypto can be mined

⸻
3. From Rewards, Airdrops, or Events
Some crypto can be obtained for free or as gifts, for example:
• Airdrops (giving away free tokens)
• Rewards from crypto apps
• Events or campaigns from exchanges
• Playing crypto games (Play-to-Earn)
Usually small amounts, but can become valuable if the price rises.

⸻
4. From Trading or Investing
People can also increase their crypto holdings by:
• Trading (buy low, sell high)
• Long-term investment (holding)
Profits come from price differences, not from minting new coins.

⸻
5. Get Paid Using Crypto
Now, some people:
• Get paid using crypto
• Get paid for services using crypto
• Sell products/services and receive crypto payments
This means crypto can be earned like regular money, but in digital form.

Thuật ngữ “khai thác” không thể tách rời khỏi các cuộc thảo luận về tiền điện tử.
Khai thác là quá trình xác minh các giao dịch và thêm các khối mới vào mạng lưới blockchain Bitcoin (Dirgantara, 2023). Quá trình này cũng tạo ra các bitcoin mới, sau đó được phát hành vào lưu thông. Khai thác được thực hiện bằng cách giải các câu đố toán học phức tạp. Nó được gọi là “khai thác” vì, thông qua việc xác thực các giao dịch và việc thêm các khối mới vào blockchain, các bitcoin mới được tạo ra - tương tự như cách khai thác vàng cần nỗ lực và tài nguyên.

Tiền điện tử là một hình thức tiền tệ kỹ thuật số hoạt động thông qua một hệ thống được biết đến với công nghệ blockchain. Một trong những loại tiền điện tử thường được thảo luận nhất là Bitcoin, được giới thiệu lần đầu bởi Satoshi Nakamoto vào năm 2008 (Lee et al., 2018). Lợi thế chính của tiền điện tử nằm ở bản chất phi tập trung của nó. Điều này có nghĩa là các giao dịch không được kiểm soát bởi một thực thể duy nhất, mà thay vào đó được quản lý bởi một mạng lưới lớn các thành viên được gọi là thợ đào, những người sử dụng sức mạnh tính toán của họ để duy trì và bảo mật mạng lưới.

Cryptocurrency first became known and gained public interest when Nakamoto (2008) introduced Bitcoin to the world in 2008. Satoshi Nakamoto's goal in creating Bitcoin was to decentralize a payment system free from central control or any third-party intermediaries.
Until early 2010, Bitcoin was still the only cryptocurrency on the market. At that time, its price was only a few cents. Several years later, new digital currencies entered the market, but their prices were also volatile, such as Bitcoin. Nakamoto (2008) attempted to create a blockchain system to protect every transaction. The blockchain system guarantees the security of cryptocurrency transactions, disrupting the conventional financial industry.

After experiencing various failures, Nakamoto (2008) finally launched a coin called Litecoin. This coin was the first financial currency to use a proof-of-work or proof-of-stake system.
Proof-of-work is a system whose primary purpose is to prevent cyberattacks, such as sending malicious emails and spam. Meanwhile, proof-of-stake is a concept in crypto assets that explains that you, as a user, can mine or validate your crypto asset transactions, based on the number of coins you hold. To illustrate, the more crypto assets a miner owns, the greater their bargaining power in mining a crypto asset. Cryptocurrency is actually a derivative of digital currency.
Cryptocurrency has a key feature: decentralized transactions, meaning that transactions are not controlled by a single entity but managed by many participants known as miners. The most well-known cryptocurrency is Bitcoin, but there are many other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, Dogecoin, Cardano, Monero, Tron, and others.
It turns out that cryptocurrency technology began in 1983. In that year, David Chaum, a cryptographer, created a cryptographic electronic currency called e-cash. In 1995, David Chaum11 implemented this through Digicash, an early form of cryptographic electronic payment. Digicash required user software to retrieve bank notes and designate a specific encrypted key before sending them to the recipient. This prevented the government, issuing bank, or any third party from tracking the transaction. In 1996, the US National Security Agency (NSA) published a paper titled "How to Make a Mint: The Cryptography of Anonymous Electronic Cash," which explored the cryptography of electronic cash. In the late 1990s, scientists such as Wei Dan, Hal Finney, and Nick Szabo created cryptocurrency systems, but none of their creations achieved widespread success. Nevertheless, their work, along with that of David Chaum, became the cornerstones of this currency system.
