What are cryptocurrencies?<\/h2>\n\n

Cryptocurrencies are a type of digital money.<\/strong> They were created to digitize<\/strong> assets and decentralize<\/strong> finance. As a rule, the number of issued monetary units is limited, which is supposed to hedge cryptocurrencies against inflation. Via blockchain technology<\/a>, the number of currency units that can be generated is limited and secured. Cryptocurrencies and their blockchain technology also enable new digitized ways of contracting with smart contracts or storage of NFTs<\/a>.<\/p>

The hype around cryptocurrencies is increasing every year. At the same time, the number of different cryptocurrencies is also increasing. Everyone is free to create their own cryptocurrency.<\/p>

Probably the best-known cryptocurrency is Bitcoin (BTC).<\/p><\/div>

What makes cryptocurrencies so special?<\/strong>
With cryptocurrencies, you can buy or sell assets without a bank or payment system standing in between as an intermediary. Thus, assets can be traded worldwide in real time and around the clock<\/strong> at low fees. As a rule, cryptocurrencies are also not issued or controlled by governments or authorities. Transactions with cryptocurrencies are recorded in the respective blockchain<\/strong><\/a>. The blockchain is comparable to a bank balance sheet or account book that records all transactions.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n
