Imagine you and your friends collect apples đ.
One day, you decide to trade your apple for your friendâs orange đ.
But you both want to keep a record of who traded what so nobody cheats.
Normally, youâd write it in a notebook đ thatâs like a bankâs record.
But what if the notebook gets lost or your friend changes the numbers? đ±
So, instead of one notebook, imagine everyone in your town has a copy of the same notebook and every time someone trades, everyoneâs notebook updates together.
Thatâs how blockchain works.
Itâs like a big digital notebook that everyone can see but no one can secretly change.
Now imagine the apples and oranges are digital coins đđ° these are cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin is like the first apple ever traded digitally đ.
Ethereum is like an apple that can also run mini-games and contracts đźđ.
Stablecoins are apples that never change in size or weight đâïž theyâre tied to something stable like dollars.
So, cryptocurrency = digital money that lives in a shared notebook called blockchain.
No bank, no middleman just fair trade between people.
