Cryptocurrencies are digital or virtual tokens that use cryptography to secure their transactions and to control the creation of new units. Cryptocurrencies are decentralized, meaning they are not subject to government or financial institution control. Bitcoin, the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, was created in 2009.
Cryptocurrencies are often traded on decentralized exchanges and can also be used to purchase goods and services. Bitcoin, for example, can be used to purchase items on Overstock.com, Expedia, and other online retailers.
Cryptocurrencies are often volatile and can experience large price swings. For example, the price of Bitcoin has ranged from a low of $200 to a high of $20,000. Cryptocurrencies can also be subject to large price swings in a short period of time.
Cryptocurrencies are often considered to be a speculative investment and should be considered high risk.
