- 01. What is a cryptocurrency?
A cryptocurrency is a virtual medium of exchange that uses cryptography to secure the transactions and to control the creation of new units. In short term, cryptocurrency represents money in digital form. It is based on cryptography, networking and open-source software. It lets people avoid fees that banks charge and take part in non-cash transactions anonymously while still guaranteeing that transactions would be secure.
- 02. How many cryptocurrencies exist?
The number of cryptocurrencies is constantly growing since almost anyone can create his or her own using open-source code. At the moment there are more than 500 cryptocurrencies. One of the most up-to-date list of the cryptocurrencies, along with the most fundamental data on each of them, is available at
coinmarketcap.com.
- 03. What is an alternative currency?
It is a currency which is an alternative to the officially used national or international currency. They are created by an individual, corporation or organization, they can be created by national, state or local governments, or they can arise naturally as people begin to use a certain commodity as a currency.
- 04. Is it difficult to obtain a coin of a given cryptocurrency?
It depends on a few factors. Generally speaking, if the cryptocurrency was introduced relatively recently, the computing power needed to mine a coin is significantly lower than the well-established cryptocurrency coins.
You can get it:
• As a payment for goods or services.
• by purchasing coins at coin exchange websites.
• by exchanging coins with someone near you.
• by earning it through mining.
- 05. Why should I get involved?
Because it is very profitable. You can either mine coins or you can simply invest in them. Ever-expanding ecosystems provide multiple opportunities for doubling or even tripling your assets. What is more, the value of cryptocurrency is constantly being evaluated and re-evaluated as more and more people join. At the beginning of the cryptocurrency revolution an initial 100$ investment brought hundreds of thousands of dollars of profit- and this opportunity is still available to you!
- 06. What is a difference between the particular cryptocurrencies?
Basically all cryptocurrencies follow the same peer-to peer consensus network mechanisms, although every currency has its own unique characteristics, like calculating algorithms.

Virtual Currency is any currency that is not printed on paper or stamped into metal. It’s virtual because it only exists in the virtual world. Virtual currency potentially can represent physical currency. Money you have in a bank can be considered virtual currency, as it is not in physical form and only exists in the bank’s ledger. If they lose the ledger, your money is gone.
Digital currency is a virtual currency that specifically exists in the digital space, meaning that it maps to some digital storage, likely a hard drive somewhere. Digital Currency includes things like Microsoft Points, Wii Points, Facebook points and cryptocurrency.
Cryptocurrency is both digital and virtual currency that is created based on some cryptographic algorithm. No one ‘mints’ this currency, they solve cryptographic algorithms using hardware and electricity to get the representation of one unit of value, typically called a ‘coin’. Bitcoin, Litecoin, and altcoins are all cryptocurrencies.

- 13. Is participating in cryptocurrency community absolutely anonymous?
All cryptocurrencies are called to be pseudo-anonymous, as the peer-to-peer (P2P) computer architecture (which is the core of the cryptocurrency concept) is a kind of an interconnected matrix of shared computing power that distributes workload between peers of the network.
However, cryptocurrencies are not anonymous and cannot offer the same level of privacy as cash. The use of a coin leaves extensive public records. Various mechanisms exist to protect users’ privacy, and more are in development.
- 14. What is an altcoin?

- 15. What is mining?
It is a process of creating the cryptocurrency. It is performed by a mining program that solves sophisticated algorithms in order to release blocks of coins that can go into circulation. The different cryptocurrencies use different types of algorithms in order for the blocks to be released, but in general it is not something that you should be using your computer to do as it takes specific equipment to mine and it will provide you with a huge electricity bill compared to the profits you will be able to make from it.
- 16. How can I store the cryptocurrency?
By using the cryptocurrency wallet software, distinctive for every cryptocurrency.
- 17. Can my cryptocurrency be stolen?

The coin value is strengthen up by the amount means you can use it for and it gains ever more legal recognition: this can be measured by its growing base of users, merchants and start-ups. As with all currency, coin’s value comes only and directly from people willing to accept them as payment.

As confusing this process may sound, it has a lot in common with mining – for example – gold. At the beginning of goldmining, almost anyone could have found a motherlode of gold if one more-or-less knew where to look for it.
