Crypto

Crypto is short for "cryptocurrency," which is a digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography for security. Cryptocurrencies are decentralized, meaning that they are not controlled by any government or financial institution. They use a distributed ledger technology called blockchain to maintain a public ledger of all transactions, which makes them transparent and resistant to fraud. The most well-known cryptocurrency is Bitcoin, but there are many other cryptocurrencies in existence, including Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple, among others. Cryptocurrencies can be used for a variety of purposes, including as a store of value, a means of payment, and a medium of exchange.
