Cryptocurrency

A cryptocurrency is a type of digital asset based on a network spanning many computers. This decentralized structure allows it to exist outside the control of any government or central authority.

Advantages of cryptocurrencies include cheaper and faster money transfers and a decentralized system that does not collapse at a single point of failure. The disadvantages of cryptocurrencies include  price volatility, high energy consumption for mining activities, and use for criminal activities.

Bitcoin, the biggest and most well-known cryptocurrency in the world, rose more than 5% in value Wednesday to trade at $19,427.
