Cryptocurrency is described as a digital currency that is built using blockchain technology which doesn't cooperate like the physical currency we spend in our everyday life. it can't be touched but can be seen only in crypto wallets, and in local currency bank accounts represents wallet. Cryptocurrency is a digital asset while Traditional Currency is a Physical asset, they both are used in exchange of goods and service, the both are used in our day to day life but doesn't have the same value.


Cryptocurrency is short cut as "crypto" because they are protected using a cryptic algorithm, it is known virtual money that exists on a blockchain, but this made them vulnerable as a lot of hacker are out trying harder to hack crypto wallets and accounts and mesmerise with the assets therein. This is why they are protected using some high-level cryptography to ensure maximum and strong security.

Satoshi Nakamoto is the one that brought about cryptocurrency in the year 2009 and have had a lot benefits along wit it. Cryptocurrency runs on a decentralized app which enables everyone to safeguard their assets rather than storing them in a bank or leaving to the hands of the authorities, you are totally a boss of your own, therefore no one can control or access your account and wallet.

SHARE YOUR ADVICE WITH THE AUDIENCE ON THE ADOPTION OF CRYPTOCURRENCY AND A FEW THINGS THEY SHOULD WATCH OUT FOR

Cryptocurrency is tend to be moving fast into the financial world, the crypto market now has a capitalization of 1 Trillion Dollars, which has in competition with the stock market, Cryptocurrency is currently been adapted in almost all countries, sooner enough the world will be filled with crypto.

When the adoption of cryptocurrency is enabled in most parts of the world, the security will increase thereby becoming more tight and hard to decrypt, crypto is very risky and it's assets can be easily stolen if the the keys given are not well stored, and this can not be retraced, any asset stolen cannot be recovered because you are the controller of your keys and account.

Crypto can be so volatile that is why it should be considered when adapting crypto as your store room. They can easily lose its value in a second, that is why in business arena it is considered very well before usage.

I have given my best advice to whosoever that have choosen to use crypto, its safe, easy to use and fast. But the risk are to be considered before using it as a huge investment for business purposes.
