A cryptocurrency (or “crypto”) is a digital asset that can circulate without the need for a central monetary authority such as a government or bank. Instead, cryptocurrencies are created using cryptographic techniques that enable people to buy, sell or trade them securely. Bitcoin and most other cryptocurrencies are supported by a technology known as the blockchain, which maintains a tamper-resistant record of transactions and keeps track of who owns what.
