WHAT ARE CRYPTOCURRENCIES?


What Is a Crypto Currency?

Cryptocurrencies are Digital currency (digital Coins) which are created and processed on a Blockchain Technology (One-way database).


What is a Blockchain?
Blockchain is a One-way Decentralized Ledger(oneway Database = not reversible database) which is stored in a network of Servers and computers distributed around the world without a central controlling Server. Each Server and Computer (node) stores every transaction that is processed on the Blockchain. Blockchain Technology allow each Crypto currency coin  to be divided into smaller units called satoshes, litoshes, … (similar to dividing Fiat Currency into Cents or 10 cents or 50 cents) which can be used to pay different people or businesses, buy products or services, pay school fees…
Blockchain also allow these small cryptocurrency units (cents) to be grouped or added together to reform a single coin or multiple crypto coins (similar to adding 10cent + 40cents + 50cents to form an equivalent of a single Rand or Dollar or pound or Euro or yen or Peso …)

CryptoCurrency History
Cryptography comes as far back as the world war, when the German Army was encrypting messages. Cryptography moved from Paper to Telegraphs to Computers .
As far back as the 1980s people(Cryptographers) have been trying to create Digital Coins (Crypto currency – Encrypted Digital money) but fell short on two technology features  (1) Dividing the Crypto coin into smaller units  and adding those small units from multiple transaction into a single or multiple full coins. (2)Prevent double spending of the same more than once (paying two people the same coin or the copy of the same coin). This is where Blockchain Technology comes in and solves both these two problems with modern Cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin and Altcoins. Blockchain Technology goes beyond cryptocurrency into Smart Contracts introduced by the Blockchain Technology behind Ethereum.
