1. Definition of Cryptocurrency
As a kind of digital currency (also called virtual currency), cryptocurrency is a medium of exchange that uses cryptography to ensure the security of financial transactions and digital assets. Unlike the traditional currency or fiat, cryptocurrency is no longer issued and managed by central bank. Instead, it is generated from a decentralized and distributed ledger system, typically called blockchain, by calculating and solving some math problems. In other words, the process of cryptocurrency production is called mining. Here is an example of Bitcoin mining.
