¶ Introduction
Cryptocurrencies are digital currencies that rely on encryption to control the creation of new units and to verify transactions. They are decentralized, meaning they function without oversight from a central bank or government. All transactions are recorded on a public digital ledger called a blockchain, which provides both transparency and security. Cryptocurrency holdings are stored in digital wallets, and well-known examples include Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin.
Cryptocurrency gets its name from the use of encryption, which secures and verifies transactions. Advanced coding is applied to store and transmit data between digital wallets and public ledgers. The purpose of this encryption is to ensure both security and protection of the transactions.
