What are cryptocurrencies?
A cryptocurrency is a digital asset that uses cryptography to ensure the security and ownership of transactions between people. Despite the volatility that characterizes them, “tokens” have grown in popularity in recent years. Bitcoin, the one with the largest market capitalization, was born in 2009. It has a finite issue that is mathematically and statistically predefined. A total of 21 million units will be minted. In turn, the amount issued is halved every four years. This makes it possible to predict how much monetary issue there will be until the total number of coins is reached in the year 2140.
Altcoins, for their part, are different cryptocurrencies than bitcoin and stablecoins, those that seek to be equated with another asset, as an official currency -usually the US currency- or a commodity. One of the most famous is USDT, from the Tether protocol, and USDC, from Coinbase. Both have a “peg” with the dollar. The purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies can be carried out on specialized platforms. The most popular in the world, according to trading volume, is Binance. To start trading, users need to create an account via the web or app.
However, investing in this type of digital asset carries a high risk since the market is fluctuating and is characterized by its volatility.
