Cryptocurrency is different from other forms of payment because it is not controlled by any central authority, such as a bank or government. Unlike traditional currencies, cryptocurrencies are not printed but rather “mined” using powerful computers that solve complex mathematical equations. Transactions with cryptocurrency use special cryptography to secure and validate the transactions. This makes them more secure and reliable than other forms of payment, as well as easier and faster to complete. Additionally, cryptocurrencies are decentralized and global, so users can easily move money across borders and reduce the cost of global payments.
