What is cryptocurrency?

Crypto currency is another type of money with which you can trade or exchange or transact, but it is digital currency and its presence only in electronic devices. It’s important to know that, like all other money, it is not regulated by any government or banking authority.

You can use it all over the world, the whole thing is run by a worldwide network. Each device in this network keeps track of crypto currency transactions and checks their validity. The network is decentralized, which is not managed by any one person or authority. Anyone can participate in this network if they wish. Another thing is that every computer in the network has equal power and rights, which is called peer to peer network.

Is crypto currency transaction is secure ?

Every transaction in crypto currency is encrypted; it is protected by a very difficult mathematical puzzle. Only the complicated computer programming on the network can solve this puzzle.

Bitcoin uses SHA-256, invented by the United States National Security Agency.

How transaction takes place ?

An account is required for crypto currency transactions. Each comes with a wallet. There are two keys in the wallet. One is your own private key and the other is for everyone i.e. public key. Now you will send that information to the network by signing with your encrypted private key. Everyone will keep a record and verify this information by checking your public key.

What is blockchain ?

This digital currency is based on blockchain technology. If a transaction is correct, then it is recorded in a block. In this case block means a set of several transactions. The details of each transaction in each block are written like a ledger Blockchain is when many blocks are connected in a continuous manner.

The computer has to solve an encryption problem before inserting the transaction into the block. Of the many computers in the network, the computer that can solve this problem first enters the record in the block. And that informs everyone else on the network. Then it checks the other computers If it is correct, then it goes to the block, This is called Proof of Work.
