16. Crypto FAQs
What is cryptocurrency?
Let’s keep it simple: cryptocurrency is digital cash for the digital age. It’s similar
to regular money — think $$ or €€ — but it’s digital-only, so there are no bills or
coins to carry around.
What is a blockchain?
At its most basic level, a blockchain is a list of transactions that anyone can view
and verify. The Bitcoin blockchain, for example, is a record of every time
someone sent or received bitcoin.
Do you have to buy a whole coin?
This one’s easy — you don’t need to buy a whole coin. On Coinbase you can buy
in increments as little as 2 dollars, euros, pounds, or your local currency.
How do you sell cryptocurrency?
Selling on an exchange is typically easy. If you already hold your crypto on
Coinbase, for example, you just visit the sell page, enter the amount you want to
sell, confirm, and finish.
Why is cryptocurrency exciting?
Cryptocurrency has the potential to be the fastest, easiest, cheapest, safest, and
most universal way to exchange value that the world has ever seen.
And if that’s not exciting enough, crypto also provides equality of opportunity,
regardless of where you were born or where you live. As long as you have a
smartphone or another internet-connected device, you have the same access to
cryptocurrency as everyone else.
