A cryptocurrency as the name implies is another type of digital file money secured and stored by the means of blockchain. It is decentralized and is not controlled by a particular individual or organization but is being managed by a public ledger.

Cryptocurrency is the same as real money but requires digital information making it unthinkable to counterfeit since it is secured by cryptography.

Since cryptocurrency is based on blockchain technology, carrying out transactions on this system is secured with a two-factor authentication process. Thereby, making it difficult for hackers to tamper with.

Developers are being consistently updating the blockchain system so that intruders can not easily access the data. However, bitcoin can be lost if you exposed your digital wallet openly.
