What Is Cryptocurrency?
• These are currencies only available in a digital or electronic form, and not
in the physical form.
• digital currency also serves as a means for legal exchange in the digital
world. It is a decentralized currency; hence it cannot be controlled by any
physical government
• A cryptocurrency, broadly defined, is virtual or digital money which takes
the form of tokens or “coins.”

Cryptocurrency Mining
• Crypto mining is mainly thought of as a way of generating new
coins. That, however, is just one part of the larger equation.
• Crypto mining also includes the process of validating different
cryptocurrency transactions on Blockchain networks and then
appending them to the desired distributed ledger.
• cryptocurrency mining is essential for preventing the extra
spending of digital currency on a distributed network

Problems in cryptocurrency
• Trustless immutable: Cryptocurrency is a trustless system, in
the sense that, you can trust the system without needing to trust
the party you are in transaction with. For instance, if you are to
send some cash to someone, who promises you a great reward
after some time, you may not trust the receiver, but you can
trust the system, because if you are dissatisfied with the
outcome of the transaction, or get scammed

Privacy of asset ownership?
People face the threat of having their properties and saving being seized by
the government, especially when they live under autocratic rule where
properties can be confiscated. This is a general problem for most people
around the world. Most wealthy people now run offshore bank accounts to
secure their hard-earned wealth. Not everyone has access to the offshore
banking industry today. Cryptocurrencies provide a non-sovereign
censorship resistant store of value that is not possible with fiat currency.

How cryptocurrency is made ?
• Most of the cryptocurrencies are made using a process called
mining.
• Mining is nothing but an algorithm. It is the process of adding
transaction to the blockchain ledger.
• But not all cryptocurrencies are made by mining. Some
currencies are created using various other techniques
14
Blockchain protocol
• Blockchain protocol allows digital currencies to be created and used as viable forms
of money. That’s because it provides a framework for creating digital items that are:
1. Unique and non-duplicable
2. Non-repudiable and impossible to “double spend”
3. Scarce and limited in supply
4. Durable and immutable
5. Divisible and uniform
