Cryptocurrencies operate on a distributed public ledger called a blockchain, which is a record of all transactions that is updated and maintained by currency holders.
Units of cryptocurrency are created through a process called mining, which involves using computing power to solve complex mathematical problems that generate coins. Users can also buy coins from brokers, then store and spend them using cryptocurrency wallets.
If you own cryptocurrency, you don't own anything tangible. What you own is a key that lets you transfer a record or unit of value from one person to another without a trusted third party.
Although Bitcoin has existed since 2009, cryptocurrencies and applications of blockchain technology are still in their early stages financially, and are expected to see more uses in the future. Transactions involving bonds, stocks, and other financial assets may eventually be traded using this technology.
