What is cryptocurrency and what types are there? In traditional financial system
What is cryptocurrency and what types are there? In traditional financial systems, people earn differences by buying, selling, and trading various encrypted assets. However, with the development of Bitcoin, some people have transferred a portion of their investment portfolios to digital wallets for storage. According to statistics, there are currently over 2 million merchants worldwide who hold or operate digital payment businesses. From the perspective of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency applications, these industries have gradually evolved into a growing demand for existing electronic cash systems. Although these tools can be used for multiple purposes, such as transferring funds, paying for goods and services, etc., they also require other methods to achieve this. (Tencent News)
What is cryptocurrency and what types are there?
With the development of the Internet, people need to perform certain operations when using various online payment methods. Cryptocurrency, on the other hand, is an electronic cash system based on blockchain technology, which can improve efficiency and security compared to other traditional financial systems and achieve cross-border remittances. Currently, there are various encrypted digital asset trading pairs available in the market, such as Bitcoin and Litecoin. So what is cryptocurrency? We can understand it from the following aspects: (1) Types of tokens (e.g., Bitcoin), (2) Network participants (such as exchanges or wallets), (3) Types of smart contracts, (4) Stable coins, and (5) Sources and uses of tokens (e.g., fiat currency), virtual currency, etc. (The above data is obtained from online searches)
According to publicly available information, Bitcoin is one of the oldest public chains in the world and the largest circulating encrypted digital asset to date. Its value mainly comes from transaction fees on the network and other generated profits. In addition, Ethereum is also a public platform that supports the operation of smart contracts. It provides a decentralized application interface (API) that allows developers to create and maintain their own decentralized blockchain applications, including decentralized lending protocols.
