Cryptocurrency is digital or virtual currency secured by cryptography and operates independently of central authorities. Bitcoin, created in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto, is the most famous example. Utilizing blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies ensure transparent, secure, and decentralized transactions. They offer anonymity, limited supply, and accessibility, attracting users for both transactions and investments. However, they face challenges such as regulatory issues and price volatility. Despite this, cryptocurrencies continue to evolve and garner interest across various sectors, including finance, technology, and governance, due to their potential to revolutionize traditional financial systems and offer new avenues for innovation.
