What is Cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrency is a form of digital currency that employs encryption techniques, known as cryptography, to secure transactions. Unlike traditional currencies that are regulated by governmental authorities, cryptocurrencies are decentralised and typically operate on blockchain technology, enabling individuals to send, receive, or store value online without the need for intermediaries such as banks.
Notable examples include Bitcoin (BTC), and Dogecoin, among others, each characterised by distinct regulations and use cases.
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin’s history dates back to 2009 when the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto introduced it as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. Since then, BTC has evolved from a niche tech experiment to a trillion-dollar asset class, influencing monetary policy debates and financial innovation.
