Well the basic definition of cryptocurrency is a currency that is only visually accesible and only accesible through the use of internet, it is also used as a real money to pay for transactions without meeting up or using fiat money, but by just a click of a button.

99% of coins are not cryptocurrencies at all. It's more like stocks of those projects. Currency is something that can be used to pay anyone for anything. Even some top-coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple are hardly currencies, because they are still not accepted everywhere. They are more like an asset. 99% of other coins that are not in top-10 are digital rubbish.

A coin doesn't need to be accepted everywhere to be classed as a currency you know that right? For example cigarettes are currency in prisons and concentration camps in the war. But they wasn't currency anywhere else. Bitcoin is a currency.

Cryptocurrency is blockchain based currency, where transaction listed in crypted block.
You cant change previous blocks because there is row of encrypted blocks

Isn't cryptocurrency the cryptocurrency market? It looks more like a stock than a blockchain.

Cryptocurrency is something that is only cryptographically controlling everything, it's digitally doing the work what paper money was supposed to do.

A cryptocurrency is something that doesn't exist like how money does but it holds a digital value acceptable in the real world.

And the amazing thing is that you.can exchange.cryptocurrency for fiat and fiat to cryptocurrency so they are interlinked at a level, which makes it super suitable for everyone.

There are so many coins due to ICOs. Each project creates its own coins which is like a stock. That's why there only a few real currencies. Most of them are in top-10 by market capitalization. It's Bitcoin, Ripple, Ethereum and some others.

I think Cryptocurrency is a virtual currency that is used as an alternative currency that is usually decentralized. This means that no one party governs either from the government or the originator of Cryptocurrency itself.

By definition cryptocurrency is a digital currency that uses cryptography for transcations. Cryptography in layman terms will he solve of SHA256 hashes in case of BTC. Some other altcoins use other cryptography for transcation like ETH uses equihash.

Cryptocurrency is a technology for making digital currencies that use cryptography for security that makes it impossible to forge. The value of cryptocurrency price is determined by the buying power of the users of this technology. Cryptocurrency or digital currency technology is currently very dynamically developed by various companies and team engineers in different parts of the world. Even Google Ventures also invests in one of the Cryptocurrency technologies. There are over 500 cryptoes based on coinmarketcap.com. Some cryptocurrencies have different concepts and some have concepts that mimic other coins.

Since the basic value of pure cryptocurrency based on purchasing and selling power is not guaranteed by anything, cryptourrency is often less than 20% in a day that can actually be used to trade profits! Especially because in Bitcoin.co.id the cost of trading cryptocurrency is 0% - pure barter.

Cryptocurrency is a digital asset that will act like your money for transactions and exchanges. It is decentralized meaning you can't have control over its price and value but you can have control on your own coin. I think it is really designed to be a medium of any transaction done online. It also increases and decreases depending to demand and supply.
