Computerized cash,
You have heard a lot about cryptocurrencies but still do not
understand what they are and what can be done with them.
Starting with Bitcoin which was introduced after the 2008
financial crisis, the developer's plan was to create a digital currency independent of any
centralized authority. That could be digitally transferred with low
transaction fees like normal fiat currencies. Cryptocurrency
designed to work as a medium of exchange in the form of a widely
accepted token or coin that can be exchanged for
goods and service and also function as a peer-to-peer
digital payment system, allowing people to make payments directly
to each other without the need of banks or other financial services.
Cryptocurrencies function by use of cryptographic
technology such as blockchain, with
unbreakable encryption securing the financial transactions and
verifying the transfer of funds. What are the benefits of using
cryptocurrencies for payment? Let's look at
the current payment system being used.
When you buy or sell something or transfer
money, the payment is processed by banks or credit card
companies. Banks and financial institutions charge transaction fees and international
payments take a long time and are expensive. With cryptocurrencies the cost of making
payments is minimal, almost instant requiring only an internet connection.
There are risks, most cryptocurrencies are anonymous, making
them a useful for illegal activity.
Cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin have no real-life value, they are
worth what people are willing to pay in the market.
