Kriptovalute

Kriptovalute, or cryptocurrencies, refer to digital or virtual currencies that use cryptography for security. They operate on blockchain technology, which is a decentralized ledger that records all transactions across a network of computers. This makes cryptocurrencies secure and resistant to fraud and counterfeiting. Common examples of cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments (fiat money), cryptocurrencies are typically not controlled by any central authority, leading to distinct implications for finance and economics. They can be used for various applications, including online payments, remittances, investments, and even smart contracts. The rise of cryptocurrencies has also sparked discussions regarding regulation, security, taxation, and the future of money in the global economy.
