Cryptocurrencies: a brief introduction
Cryptocurrencies are digital/virtual currencies that are guarded (or encrypted) by the use of various computer algorithms. The best thing about these currencies is they are highly secure, and not even a country’s government can interfere in their transactions.
These Cryptocurrencies rely on a technology called a blockchain. You might ask- “What’s a blockchain?”
Well, in short, as the name suggests these are sub-parts of these Cryptocurrencies. They store digital information about currencies’ attributes and user transactions in ‘blocks’. The ‘chain’ is a network of refers to the database where these blocks are stored.
Whenever some ‘stuff’ occurs with Cryptocurrencies like transactions, that information is added at the end of the blockchain inside a new block. With the use of complex algorithms and the ‘linear’ storage of blocks, blockchain technology is highly secure.
Well, those are some basics if you’re a newbie in the world of Cryptocurrencies. Now, let’s head on to our main topic of this article.
Best Cryptocurrencies
Bitcoin (BTC)
Even without any knowledge of Cryptocurrencies, you must’ve heard about Bitcoin. Made by a group called “Satoshi Nakamoto” in 2009, this Cryptocurrency has about 40% shares in the worldwide Cryptocurrency market. It is also one of the most popular Cryptocurrencies known worldwide.

Ripple became popular due to its flexibility in performing international transactions. While it takes at least 2 days to perform an international payment, the same task can be done in seconds with the use of Ripple. Due to this advantage, companies like American Express have already adapted to using Ripple’s technology.
Ripple’s shares worth around $12 billion in the global market, and 1 Ripple is worth around 30 INR.
Dash (DASH)
Dash was initially called ‘darkcoin’, as transactions made it are highly elusive making them untraceable. However, it was named Dash (or “digital cash”) in 2015. Dash was made by Evan Duffield.
