What is Cryptocurrency? Cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography for security. It is a form of digital asset and financial instrument that can be used for investment and payment.

Unlike traditional fiat currencies, it operates on decentralized networks powered by blockchain technology, which records transactions across a distributed ledger. Bitcoin, created in 2009, was the first cryptocurrency and remains the most prominent. Today, there are thousands of cryptocurrencies, each designed for specific purposes. Why Cryptocurrency Could Be a Global Currency Decentralization: Cryptocurrencies operate without a central authority, such as a government or financial institution. This decentralization ensures that no single entity can control the currency, making it appealing for a global financial system.

  1. Borderless Nature: Cryptocurrencies enable instant, low-cost transactions across borders. Unlike fiat currencies, which require intermediaries for international transactions, cryptocurrencies allow peer-to-peer transfers without exchange rates or delays.
  2. Financial Inclusion: Over 1.4 billion people globally lack access to traditional banking systems. Cryptocurrencies can provide financial services to these unbanked populations, as all that’s required is an internet connection and a digital wallet.
  3. Resistance to Inflation: Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin have a capped supply, ensuring that they cannot be devalued by excessive printing, unlike fiat currencies.
  4. Transparency and Security: Blockchain technology provides a transparent and secure system where every transaction is recorded and immutable, reducing the risk of fraud and corruption.
