Cryptocurrency, virtual currency or digital currency refers to a medium of exchange secured by cryptography, ensuring it is not counterfeit. Cryptocurrencies operate on decentralised networks based on blockchain technology, and they use a ledger that is enforced by a diversified network of computers. Blockchain refers to an organisational method that ensures the integrity of the transactions on the network. Cryptocurrencies differ from their fiat counterparts because they are generally not issued by a central authority, making them theoretically resistant to government interference.
