Definition of crypto currency
I will say Cryptocurrency is a virtual currency which is using cryptography for their security. Crypto is not controlled by any big authority like the government or even any financial institution. This works on a distributed ledger technologies which is known as BLOCKCHAIN. This records all transactions which is across all the network of different computers. The most cryptocurrency which is visible and known worldwide is the almighty Bitcoin, but there’s other coin which the includes; Ethereum, Litecoin, and even Ripple.
Cryptocurrencies are sometimes used as a form of investment for people, and their value are not stable based on market demand and some factors.

why crypto currency’s are not stable
Cryptocurrencies are not stable due to some factors, who also include their distributed nature, very high volatility, and vulnerability to market manipulation. Since cryptocurrencies are not controlled by banks and other authorities , their value can’t be stable based on the market demand and supply. , the lack of regulation in the cryptocurrency market means that there is a stable risk of fraud, scams, and other illegal activities, which can also add to the stability of cryptocurrencies market..
