What is cryptocurrency?

I will try to keep it short. Cryptocurrencies are a form of digital currency that runs on blockchain technology. When you trade dollars for a cryptocurrency the digital asset, coin, or token you have essentially bought is dispersed through a network of computers throughout the world. This makes the currency decentralized because it is not issued by a government authority. It offers various encryption algorithms and cryptographic techniques to safeguard your currency. Bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency, launched in 2009, and many other “altcoins” have been launched since.

How do I buy Bitcoin or “altcoins”?

Well… I bought some Bitcoin and some “altcoins”. I will mention which coins I bought a little bit later in this article. I use a platform called Coinbase. This article is not sponsored by Coinbase, however, my link to sign up to Coinbase is a referral link. If you sign up through this link… we will both get $10 of Bitcoin after you buy your first $100 worth of cryptocurrencies.

Let’s take a look at how much my investment went up.
