Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Technology

Cryptocurrency, a form of digital currency, relies on blockchain technology to operate


without a central authority. Blockchain is a decentralized ledger that records all transactions
across a network of computers, ensuring transparency and security. Bitcoin, the first and most
well-known cryptocurrency, has paved the way for numerous other digital currencies like
Ethereum, Ripple, and Litecoin. Cryptocurrencies offer advantages such as lower transaction
fees, faster cross-border payments, and financial inclusion. However, they also pose risks,
including regulatory uncertainty, market volatility, and potential misuse for illegal activities.
As blockchain technology evolves, it holds promise for applications beyond finance,
including supply chain management, voting systems, and digital identity verification.
