Introduction: What is cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual asset that uses cryptography for security.
Cryptocurrencies are decentralized, meaning they are not subject to government or financial
institution control. Bitcoin, the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, was created in 2009.
Cryptocurrencies are often traded on decentralized exchanges and can also be used to
purchase goods and services.
Cryptocurrency is still a relatively new phenomenon, and it can be difficult to wrap your head
around it at first. But don't worry! In this blog section, we'll introduce you to the basics of
cryptocurrency and help you get started on your journey into this exciting new world.

How to buy and store crypto?
If you're new to the world of cryptocurrency, you're probably wondering how to get started.
Here's a quick guide on how to buy and store crypto.
First, you'll need to set up a wallet to store your coins. There are many different wallets
available, so do some research to find one that's right for you. Once you've got a wallet set
up, you can buy crypto on exchanges like Coinbase or Binance.
When buying crypto, always be sure to check the prices carefully before making a purchase.
Once you've bought your coins, it's important to store them securely. Never store your coins
on an exchange, as they can be hacked. The best way to store your coins is by using a
hardware wallet like a Trezor or Ledger Nano S.
With a little bit of research and care, buying and storing crypto can be easy and fun!

What is a blockchain?
A blockchain is a digital ledger of all cryptocurrency transactions. It is constantly growing as
"completed" blocks are added to it with a new set of recordings. Each block contains a
cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data. Bitcoin nodes
use the block chain to differentiate legitimate Bitcoin transactions from attempts to re-spend
coins that have already been spent elsewhere. What is bitcoin mining?
Mining is a distributed consensus system that is used to confirm waiting transactions by
including them in the block chain. It enforces a chronological order in the block chain, protects
the neutrality of the network, and allows different computers to agree on the state of the
system. To be confirmed, transactions must be packed in a block that fits very strict
cryptographic rules that will be verified by the network. These rules prevent previous blocks
from being modified because doing so would invalidate all following blocks. Mining also
creates the equivalent of a competitive lottery that prevents any individual from easily adding
new blocks consecutively in the block chain. This way, no individuals can control what is
included in the block chain or replace parts of the block

Types of blockchains (N.B. Ethereum, Bitcoin):
There are two main types of blockchain: public and private. Public blockchains, like Ethereum
and Bitcoin, allow anyone to access and view the ledger. Private blockchains, on the other
hand, restrict access to the ledger to a specific group of people.
The benefits of public blockchains include increased transparency and security, as well as the
ability to build trust between parties. Private blockchains, on the other hand, offer more
privacy and control over who can access the data.
Advantages of cryptocurrencies:
Cryptocurrencies have become increasingly popular over the past few years. Here are some
advantages of investing in cryptocurrencies:
1. Cryptocurrencies are decentralized. This means that they are not subject to government or
financial institution control.
2. Cryptocurrencies are global. They can be used by anyone, anywhere in the world.
3. Cryptocurrencies are secure. Transactions are encrypted and cannot be tampered with.
4. Cryptocurrencies are Anonymous. Transactions are recorded on a public ledger, but users
remain anonymous.
5. Cryptocurrencies are fast. Transactions are processed quickly and settlement is often
instantaneous.

Disadvantages of cryptocurrencies:
Cryptocurrencies have become increasingly popular over the past few years. However, there
are also some disadvantages to using them.
One of the biggest disadvantages of cryptocurrencies is their volatile nature. The value of
Bitcoin, for example, has fluctuated wildly over the past year. This means that if you invest in
cryptocurrencies, you could end up losing a lot of money very quickly.
Another downside of cryptocurrencies is that they are often used for illegal activities. Because
they are decentralized and not regulated by governments, they have become a popular way
to buy and sell illegal goods and services.
Finally, cryptocurrencies are still relatively new and untested. This means that there is a
possibility that they could fail entirely and become worthless.

Conclusion
The need for decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges is increasing as more people use
cryptocurrencies. In addition to the growing number of crypto users, demand for cryptos will
increase as regulations in regards to cryptocurrency and ICOs become more stringent.
Because decentralized exchanges do not require users to provide personal information, they
are becoming increasingly popular among crypto users. With the increasing amount of
cryptos available, it’s likely we will see further developments in this area. As a result,
decentralized exchanges have the potential to become increasingly popular over centralized
ones.
