Beginner-friendly explanation of cryptocurrency

💰 What is Cryptocurrency?


Cryptocurrency is a type of digital money. Unlike traditional currency (like rupees or dollars), it is completely online and is not controlled by any government or bank.

Crypto 



🔒 Key Features


Decentralized: No single authority controls it. Instead, it works on a technology called blockchain.

Secure: Transactions are encrypted and recorded permanently, making them hard to fake.

Digital-Only: You can't touch or see crypto like physical money—it's completely online.

Global: You can send and receive crypto anywhere in the world, often faster and cheaper than banks.

🧱 What is Blockchain?


Imagine a public digital notebook that records every transaction. That’s a blockchain. Every page in the notebook is a block, and once a page is full, it’s added to a chain. Everyone on the network has a copy, so it’s hard to cheat.

🪙 Popular Cryptocurrencies


Bitcoin (BTC) – The first and most famous.

Ethereum (ETH) – Known for smart contracts (self-executing programs).

BNB, Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA) – Other major ones.
