Introduction to Crypto

Cryptocurrencies are digital currencies secured by cryptography and don't exist in physical forms like the US dollar. Popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Polkadot (DOT) are supported by an underlying technology called blockchain, which acts as a decentralized digital ledger.

Every cryptocurrency transaction is recorded on the blockchain and becomes unchangeable once confirmed and validated. Unlike traditional currencies that rely on banks for centralized control, cryptocurrency transactions occur on a public blockchain accessible to anyone.

Furthermore, depending on the consensus mechanism, anyone can validate transactions and add them to the blockchain, making cryptocurrencies decentralized.

Tällä hetkellä alan keskeisillä teollisuudenaloilla on neljä näkemystä Bitcoinista ja lohkoketjutekniikasta, ja yksimielisyys on hitaasti muodostumassa. Nämä ovat:

  1. 1. Bitcoin is a virtual good and is similar in many ways to more traditional investments.
  2. 2. Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer payment method and has the potential of challenging Visa’s market dominance.
  3. 3. The Bitcoin blockchain, as an underlying blockchain, can provide consensus solutions to other public blockchains, with Bitcoin itself as the fees for this service. Because of this, the Bitcoin blockchain may become the infrastructure on which all other blockchain applications are built in the future.
  4. 4. Bitcoin is a virtual currency on the internet. It has some attributes of traditional currencies and some attributes of traditional payments systems in certain internet communities.
  5. 5. Bitcoin is a reserve asset like gold, and because of its standardization, divisibility, and the ability of conducting online transfers, it has great advantages in many aspects such as payment efficiency, preservation cost, and more. Because of this, it has the potential of becoming a form of "digital gold", and is therefore an asset with the possibility of replacing gold in the internet of value era.
