when someone joins hive, it's not far from cryptocurrency. yes, because social media provides prizes in the form of digital currency for writers. Almost most users know about crypto because they jump here. and that also happened to me. I found out about crypto, that was when I first joined Steemit. about 3 years ago. at first I was very confused. there are many digital currencies in this world. like giving a present here. namely digital currency hive and hbd.
to find out about crypto or digital currency, first you need to know the scope. the first is:
- miner.
cryptocurency can arise because there is a miner. those who do mining. for example: if you buy a diamond in a store, the miner digs the diamond. then the diamond is formed and traded in a shop that sells diamonds. and those who want to wear diamonds buy it. so is digital currency. the miners who gave rise to digital currencies. then the market that buys it, and is sold to people who want it. next :
- blockhain
blockhain is a large notebook for transactions. all people in the world who make transactions will be stored in blockhain. and everyone can see it. all transparently. crypto for whom, and from where, it will be recorded and stored in blockhain. transparently. but you do not know the identity of the person sending and receiving the digital currency. the transaction will be sent to your respective digital wallet.
for those of you who want to buy it, you can buy it in the market. for Indonesia there are usually many who use indodax.com to buy digital currencies.
