Cryptocurrencies are virtual or digital money that run on decentralized blockchain systems and use cryptography for security. Cryptocurrencies are not governed by a bank or government, in contrast to conventional fiat currencies that are issued by governments. Rather, they rely on cryptographic methods and peer-to-peer networks to manage the generation of new units and secure transactions.

CRYPTOCURRENCY TYPES:

Bitcoin (BTC):
Known by its enigmatic creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency. It still holds the title of most valuable and well-known digital money and helped to establish the entire cryptocurrency market.

Ethereum (ETH):
Ethereum is a decentralized platform that facilitates the development of intelligent contracts and decentralized software applications (DApps). It is more than just a cryptocurrency. On the Ethereum network, transactions are conducted using its native currency, ether.

Ripple (XRP):
Ripple is a novel cryptocurrency intended for inexpensive, quick transfers of funds between countries. Through the facilitation of smooth cross-border transactions, it seeks to transform the current financial system.

Litecoin (LTC):
Litecoin was introduced in 2011 and is frequently described as the "silver" counterpart to Bitcoin's "gold." It is better suited for regular transactions because it has quicker block generation times and use a different hashing method.

Cardano (ADA): The goal of the blockchain platform Cardano is to offer a scalable and safe environment for the creation of smart contracts and decentralized apps. Its native cryptocurrency is called ADA.
