What is Cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency is digital money secured by cryptography and recorded on a shared public ledger instead of at a bank.

In depth

A cryptocurrency lets you send value directly to anyone in the world without an intermediary approving it. Ownership is proven with cryptographic keys rather than a name and password, and the supply rules are written into the code so nobody can print more at will. Bitcoin was the first; today there are thousands, each with its own purpose and design.

Side-by-side flow: bank transfer (you β†’ bank β†’ their bank β†’ recipient) vs crypto transfer (you β†’ network β†’ recipient).
