What is Crypto currency?
A crypto currency is something which can be exchanged via online for buying or getting goods and services. They are also called Digital Currency. There are several companies which have issued and made their own digital currency, for example : Facebook Inc. has issued Libra. They are also called a Token.
Till date, there are at least 6400+ crypto currencies are available. You can find the details on CoinMarketCap.com which is a market research and finance website. The crypto currencies are issued via ICO or Initial Coin Offering.
If we talk about particular Bitcoin, it is the most famous and valuable asset which is aimed to provide good returns. There are several chances of a sudden growth and sudden drop in a price of it. The public sentiments and market conditions are also valuable for it.
A reason for sudden hype in the price of Bitcoin is that Elon Musk has invested $1.6 Billion in it. Last year Bitcoin surge from $7000 to $40,000. Last year Warren Buffet had invested in Bitcoin. After that, it was become an Asset class.
Crypto Currency vs Paper Currency
A paper currency has a central authority which controls the supply and circulation which is most probably the Government itself and we do trust on it. So, we need some limited and decentralized currency. Now, to solve these both problems we have Crypto currencies.
Crypto currency is just like a digital money which can be stored in our computer and internet. You also can exchange it via internet itself. There is no need of any bank or intermediate. Bitcoin works on a blockchain technology so there is one central ledger in which it maintains accounts and transactions.
From Where Bitcoin Came?
New Bitcoins are generated via comparative and decentralized process called as Mining. Mining for Bitcoin is like digital version of mining a Gold. Minors are usually processing transactions and are getting rewarded by a particular network in Bitcoin. These minors use powerful computers to compete with each other to win Bitcoin by solving math puzzles and it gets harder as you pass it or solve it.
The amount of Bitcoin won by minors can decreased over time. That is why a lot of people hoard a Bitcoin. The more people will hoard a Bitcoin, the value of it will increase at particular rate. Thus, more people are motivated to invest in it. This is how the cycle of a Bitcoin works.
How Can You Buy A Bitcoin?
You can get a Bitcoin if you know the mining process and a knowledge required for it. Generally, people do not know the mining process to earn or to collect a Bitcoin. So, we can buy a Bitcoin from the people who are hoarding it.
If you hold a Bitcoin, you will have a Private Key and Public Key. A Public Key is like an email address. You can share it to the others so that they can give you a Bitcoin and easy to transact. A Private Key is your Email and Password. You should not give away your Private Key to anyone ever. Also, you can not do the forgot password things over here as it is related to the finance sector.
So, if you lose your Private Key, then it means you may also lose your all Bitcoins.
Advantages of Crypto currencies :-
- It is decentralized so that nobody can control it.
- There is no transaction restriction. Which means it is available to everyone with any nationality.
- Secured. Which means it provides an unalterable record of every transaction made on the network.
- Privacy. The transactions are anonymous.
- It is limited. So that no one can just over print the currency as per surge. There will be only 21 Billion Bitcoins.
This reasons are telling us that why the people call it a Digital gold as it is a finite amount.
