New Age Currency- Cryptocurrencies!
With the birth of Crypto currencies, the long wait for “Virtual Money”, seems over. This digital currency can now exist in an ecosystem that is decentralized unlike fiat currencies.
Despite being decentralized, users can make safe transactions and store their money without having to go to any financial institution. They are limited in number and their value grows exponentially with time. This is why cryptocurrencies’ stored value is so high.
They also use a distributed public blockchain. Blockchain is a record of transactions that their owners have made, and it gets updated as transactions occur. This digital currency uses cryptography to convert legible data into encrypted codes that are difficult to decode. These codes are used to track purchases and transfers.
From the moment the first Cryptocurrency was created, to today, more than 900 cryptocurrencies are available online. Because of their dynamism, there are very few of them. Every day, new ones are born with the same dynamism.
