What is cryptocurrency?
Created by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009, the cryptocurrencies that entered our lives with Bitcoin are completely digital and encrypted virtual currencies that can be used in exchange transactions. These digital assets, whose security is under control with the science of cryptology and blockchain technology, do not have any physical counterpart. They are completely decentralized and not dependent on any authority. Therefore, they are not affected by the economic ups and downs in the countries.
What is traditional (Fiat) money?
Backed by a government, not a physical commodity like gold or silver, traditional currencies are used around the world to buy goods and services, invest and save. The value of traditional money derives from the relationship between supply and demand and the stability of the issuing state, rather than the value of a commodity that supports it. There is full government control of fiat currencies enacted by law.
