Bitcoin and other digital currencies have been around for more than a decade, but only recently have they become popular. In recent times, many people have begun to invest in one of the numerous digital coins that are currently available.Creating virtual currencies such as Bitcoin, the earliest and most renowned of them all, is a labor-intensive operation that can only be done by computer whizzes using powerful software to solve mathematical equations. The blockchain technology powering these currencies, based on decentralization, is critical to their long-term viability and security.Which factors determine the value of cryptocurrencies?We must first understand how a cryptocurrency differs from fiat money to grasp this concept (EURO, US Dollar, etc.). Governments back fiat currencies, which are recognized as legal tender. When two participants in a negotiation place their faith in a value, that value has intrinsic value. Most countries use a fiat money system, in which the quantity of money is controlled by central banks and financial reserves, which in turn controls inflation indirectly.Governments have no control over cryptocurrencies since they are decentralized. The majority of countries have not yet accepted bitcoins as a means of payment. Because the supply of cryptocurrencies will be fixed, it is unlikely to devalue due to inflation.Apart from that, both share the same traits. Both can be used as a means of exchange for goods and services, and all have a corresponding store of value.Blockchain, the public ledger for cryptocurrencyEvery bitcoin trade is automatically recorded in a decentralized ledger and cannot be altered by a single party. All transactions are encrypted for your safety, and you can access them from anywhere, at any time.Nodes in a cryptographic networkThe number of nodes indicates how many wallets are currently operating on the network.
