Cryptocurrency, also known as Virtual Currency or “Crypto,” is digital asset designed to function as an alternative to sovereign fiat currency (US Dollars, for example) whereby transactions between two parties are verified through a public, distributed ledger, also known as a blockchain. Most people think of Bitcoin and/or Ether when they heard the word “Crypto”, and while Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency and most widely followed, there are a number of cryptocurrencies currently available.
