The concept of cryptocurrency was introduced by the introduction of Bitcoin (BTC) in 2008, which sparked a revolutionary social and technological revolution. The aim of cryptocurrency is to create a platform to facilitate global, peer-to-peer transaction settlement that ensures privacy as well as financial security.
A cryptocurrency’s monetary policy is implemented through an unique combination of cryptography, software, and financial incentives, rather than the decisions of trusted third-party entities like central banks, companies or government. Cryptocurrencies are supported by cryptographically secure verified transaction databases, also known as blockchains. They provide security and the ability to be transparent.A cryptocurrency network is a vast community of stakeholders comprising the validators who ensure the security of the network, while also adding payments to blockchain and the traders who bet on these market-driven, radically volatile assets, as well as the developers trying to get people on board to this revolutionary financial model.
