A cryptocurrency is a digital asset, secured by cryptography, which you can buy, sell, or use as a payment method. Many cryptocurrencies use blockchain technology. Also, they are not governed by any central authority.
Blockchain is a secure, transparent, publicly accessible ledger that exists across a specific network. Its main purpose is to record crypto transactions to help secure transfer of ownership of assets.
A coin is any cryptocurrency that operates on its own blockchain. Coins are often used to trade currency. On the other hand, a token is any cryptocurrency that is built on top of an existing blockchain. Coins represent a proposed medium of exchange, while tokens represent an asset.
When you spend a token, it physically moves from one place to another (just like how ownership changes when you trade a non-fungible token (NFT). Meanwhile, coins don’t move around. Only your account balance changes when you spend a coin.
With the success of Bitcoin, many people saw the potential of using cryptocurrency for various functionalities such as payments, trading, staking, gaming, and more.
There are several ways to buy a cryptocurrency. The most popular one is through an online cryptocurrency exchange. You create an account in a currency exchange site of your choice, cash in through several payment methods (e.g., credit or debit card, Paypal, etc.), and purchase the coin or token you prefer.
Another popular option is through peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions. It means buying from other people who sell the specific coin or token you want to purchase. The person will send you the cryptocurrency using your wallet address.
A crypto wallet is a platform you can use to securely store and retrieve multiple cryptocurrencies. The good thing about most crypto wallets is that you can only access your assets through a private key
