How Does cryptocurrency work? - crypto Lesson 2
Now that you know what cryptocurrency is
Let's understand how it works.
Cryptocurrencies run on atechnology called
blockchain.A Blockchain is like a digital
ledger - it records every transaction that
happens with that cryptocurrency.
🧠Key Concepts You Should Know:
1.Blockchain
it's chain of blocks Each block
contains transactions data.Once data is
added,it cannot be changed - making it
secure and trustworthy.
2.Wallet
A crypto wallet is a digital tool that
stores your cryptocurrency.There are
two main types:
.🔒Hot Wallet - connected to the
internet(e.g.mobile apps like Trust
wallet).
.🧊 Cold wallets - offline storage
(e.g.hardware devices like Ledger).
3.mining
mining is how new coins are created and
how transactions are verified.computers
solve complex math problems to confirm
transactions and are rewarded with new
coins (like Bitcoin mining).
4.private Key vs public key
.🔑 private key: Like your password -
never shere it.
.📩 public key: Like your account
number - other use it to send you
crypto.
💡 Simple Example:
if Ali wants to send Bitcoin to Amina,
he uses her public key (wallet adress).
The blockchain network checks if Ali has
enough balance, then adds the transaction
to the next block.Once confirmed,Amina
gets the Bitcoin.
✅ Final Words:
crypto is based on transparency, security,
and decentralization.Understanding how it
works helps you avoid mistakes and scams.
