in LeoFinance2 years ago (edited)

Greetings to all and sundry on this great platform. I welcome you all to my blog once again and today I will write and share with you all about blockchain and cryptocurrencies, including some of the benefits as well as the demerits.

This is going to be my second post on after joining hive platform. As a newbie here I would like to leave a link here in this post so that anyone that wish to know more about me can visit. Introductory Post.

Definition of blockchain

A blockchain is a digital ledger of cryptocurrency transactions. Each transaction is verified by the consensus of a majority of the participants in the system, and then recorded in a block. Each block is chained to the previous block using a cryptographic hash function, creating a tamper-evident blockchain. Because each block is chained to the previous block, it is very difficult to tamper with the data in any given block without also tampering with all of the blocks that come after it.

Each block contains a timestamp and a link to the previous block. Blockchain technology was first proposed in 1991 by Stuart Haber and W. Scott Stornetta. However, it was not until the launch of Bitcoin in 2009 that blockchain technology began to be widely used.
Blockchains store data in a decentralized way that is secure, transparent, and tamper-resistant.

When a transaction occurs, there is a transfer of value between more than one wallet. That transaction gets submitted to a public pool of pending transactions. All nodes on the blockchain (a fancy word for computers on the network) get notified of the pending transaction.

The nodes can all then start competing to validate the transaction using complex algorithms.
When one node finally solves the complex algorithm, it gets added to its copy of the ledger and gets sent out to all other nodes on the network so that they can update their ledgers too.

Each node then creates another unique algorithm and starts working on it to try validate another transaction and get rewarded with cryptocurrency for doing so.

Cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrencies are a new form of currency that has been gaining a lot of popularity lately. There are a lot of reasons for this, but one major reason is that they are decentralized. This means that they are not subject to the control of any one person or organization. This makes them a very secure form of currency, and it also makes them very versatile.

Cryptocurrencies are a new and growing area of investment. They offer investors the opportunity to make money quickly and without much risk. There are a few things to keep in mind when investing in cryptocurrencies. First, be sure to research the coins you are considering investing in.
Cryptocurrencies are rapidly evolving and growing in popularity. With prices reaching all-time highs and adoption rates continuing to climb, it is important to understand what cryptocurrencies are and how they work.
When investing in cryptocurrencies, it is important to do your research and to invest responsibly. Cryptocurrencies are a volatile market, and prices can fluctuate greatly. Be sure to only invest what you can afford to lose, and always remember to diversify your portfolio.

Cryptocurrencies are a new and growing trend in the world of finance. They are digital or electronic tokens that use cryptography to secure their transactions and to control the creation of new units. Cryptocurrencies are unique in that they are decentralized, meaning they are not subject to government or financial institution control. This has led to their popularity, as they offer an alternative payment system that is more secure and anonymous than traditional methods.

Cryptocurrencies have a few disadvantages that potential investors should be aware of. One major downside is that they are highly volatile, meaning their prices can fluctuate greatly in a short period of time. This makes them a risky investment, and one that should only be made with caution. Another issue is that because cryptocurrencies are not regulated by any government or financial institution, there is no guarantee of their safety or stability.

Conclusion

In summary, I would advise that before investing into cryptocurrencies, w should make it a point to do our personal research about the coin we wants to invest and also try as much as possible to know the whitepaper and the team behind the coin as there are a lot of scammers active on the crypto market waiting to hunt people.

One should also make it a point to diversify his/her portfolio that is by buying investing in different tokens especially by adding at least one or more penny currencies to their portfolio. This would help manage risk of ones account.

Investing into cryptocurrencies is a risky investment as such one should make sure that he/she invests monies that he can afford to lose so that when his/her money goes on a loss, it won't affect you financially. We all do not know the influence of this rise and fall of the crypto assets we also do say that its because of demand and supply but sometimes this prediction fails us too. For that reason, we should invest wisely and carefully.

I would like to end my article here and before that I would also like to thank the ADMINS and MODS that are making this community a great one for their great effort and hard work.
