Cryptocurrencies are a form of digital assets. They are typically decentralized, meaning they are not governed by a single authority, differentiating them from conventional fiat money.
Decentralization of crypto necessitates rules to verify the legitimacy of transactions involving these digital assets. Blockchain technology chronologically records all transactions involving digital assets on a public ledger, accessible worldwide.
Even though it seems straightforward, maintaining this level of data integrity requires considerable computational power. That's where miners come in, using their computers to solve complex calculations to verify transactions. Miners are awarded a small amount of crypto, known as a block reward, for their efforts.
Trading in cryptocurrency involves buying, selling, or holding digital currencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), Tron (TRX), among others, with the intent to profit from their price fluctuations. Transactions on the Coinpacto platform can be executed by exchanging EUR for BTC.
