What are cryptocurrencies?
In an era when the usual cash transactions were reduced to be replaced by electronic commerce and payments, the so-called encrypted currency or encrypted assets appeared, which despite the doubts that hovered around it in its infancy - being virtual/electronic - but it was welcomed and increasingly accepted and demanded, which raised the prices of digital currencies to record levels.
It was impossible to imagine access to it, and even made its way to international financial transactions and became the focus of curiosity and interest from everyone, in this article we will shed light on it to demonstrate the concept of digital currencies and how to deal with them.
How to buy cryptocurrency
A cryptocurrency is a form of payment that can be exchanged online for goods and services, as many companies have issued their own currencies, which are often called token names, and can be traded specifically for the good or service offered by the company.
Cryptocurrencies also work using a technology called Blockchain, which is a decentralized technology spread across many computers that manage and record transactions. Perhaps part of the appeal of this technology is its security, but how do you buy or store cryptocurrencies?
According to nerdwallet, while some cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, are available for purchase in US dollars, others require you to pay using Bitcoin or another currency.
Also, to buy cryptocurrencies, you will need a “wallet”, an online application that can hold your currency, in general, you create an account on the exchange, after which you can transfer real money to buy cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum.
Coinbase is also one of the popular cryptocurrency trading platforms where you can create a wallet and buy and sell cryptocurrencies.
As for how to store cryptocurrency, you have a few different options. With your “regular” money, you can store it in a bank and spend it digitally through bank transfer or PayPal, or you can use a card as debit or credit card to spend the money, and of course, you can also store cash in your wallet and spend it from there.
You can use a software-based wallet on your desktop or online wallets that you can access from anywhere, and mobile wallets allow you to transfer and spend cryptocurrencies from your phone.
Another option is a hardware wallet, which is a USB device that electronically stores your crypto keys.
Some outlets also offer paper wallet services, which are similar to cash, with this, you will have a piece of paper with two QR codes on it, one for how you receive the cryptocurrency and the other for how you spend it.
