Crypto – Currency and block chain Technology

Crypto Currency

A crypto currency (or crypto currency) is a digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange that uses strong cryptography to secure financial transactions, control the creation of additional units, and verify the transfer of assets.  

Crypto currencies use decentralized control as opposed to centralized digital currency and central banking systems.

The decentralized control of each crypto currency works through distributed ledger technology, typically a blockchain that serves as a public financial transaction database.

Bitcoin, first released as open-source software in 2009, is generally considered the first decentralized cryptocurrency.

Block Chain Technology

A blockchain is a decentralized, distributed, and oftentimes public, digital ledger that is used to record transactions across many computers so that any involved record cannot be altered retroactively, without the alteration of all subsequent blocks. 

This allows the participants to verify and audit transactions independently and relatively inexpensively.

A blockchain database is managed autonomously using a peer-to-peer network and a distributed timestamping server.

They are authenticated by mass collaboration powered by collective self-interests.
