Summary
Details

Cryptocurrencies are not physically substantial like money or banknotes; they only exist electronically. They are not governed by a single body, such as the government or a central bank, because they are decentralized. Instead, they use a distributed ledger known as blockchain to log and authenticate transactions.

Every transaction is added to a block, which is then chronologically connected to other blocks to build a chain. This technique guarantees transparency, security, and immutability of transaction data.

Cryptocurrencies use cryptography to restrict the generation of new units and protect transactions. Because transactions are verified and authorized using public and private keys, it is tough for unauthorized parties to influence the system.

Cryptocurrency transactions are transparent, transparently recorded on the blockchain, and pseudonymous. A certain amount of anonymity is offered since users are identifiable by their public keys or wallet addresses rather than by their data. It's crucial to remember that not all cryptocurrencies are as private as others.
