Cryptocoins are digital or virtual tokens that use cryptography to secure their transactions and to control the creation of new units. Cryptocoins are decentralized, meaning they are not subject to government or financial institution control. Bitcoin, the first and most well-known cryptocoin, was created in 2009. Cryptocoins are often traded on decentralized exchanges and can also be used to purchase goods and services.
There are hundreds of different cryptocoins available, with new ones being created all the time. Bitcoin is the largest and most well-known, with a market capitalization of over $137 billion as of January 2018. Other popular cryptocoins include Ethereum, Ripple, and Litecoin. Cryptocoin values can be highly volatile and can rise and fall quickly.
Cryptocoins are often criticized for their volatility and for their use in criminal activities. However, they also have many supporters who believe they represent a new way of doing business and that they have the potential to revolutionize the global financial system.
