    There will hardly be anyone who will be ignorant of the name of cryptocurrency. For the last few years,

    It’s nothing but a digital currency that is based on Blockchain technology. Some popular cryptocurrencies are
    Bitcoin, Binance coin, Ethereum, XRP, etc.
    The most important thing about this currency is that it’s completely decentralized, which means that there is no
    control of any country over it, that’s why many countries still consider it illegal, but recently India has
    considered it legal.

    do investing and trading. When a transaction takes place, it’s monitored through powerful computers,
    which is called cryptocurrency mining in another language.
