By [email protected] and EM @QUE.com
Cryptocurrencies are digital or virtual tokens that use cryptography to secure their transactions and to control the creation of new units. Cryptocurrencies are decentralized, meaning they are not subject to government or financial institution control. Bitcoin, the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, was created in 2009.

Cryptocurrencies are gaining in popularity due to their potential for anonymity and faster, cheaper transactions than traditional banking methods. Cryptocurrencies may also be used to circumvent government restrictions on currency exchange.
