What exactly is cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrencies are digital tokens that have a value, just like a $10 bill is a physical token that happens to have $10 worth of value.
The difference is that digital currencies are purely electronic. Just like a photograph on the Internet can be copied and replicated over and over again until the original is worthless, the same thing could happen to a coin.
In order for a cryptocurrency to have value, a coin needs to be unique and unreplicable. The Bitcoin blockchain was the innovation that made this possible.

Hi there, thanks for your reviews! I use some of already mentioned here and Bitsane as well, it’s a small platform and its trading volume is not big, but it’s a decent one and pretty reliable. Could you please add some thoughts about it too (or maybe I’m missing something out, and it is already reviewed?)?
Hi David,
Thanks for your message! We appreciate the kind words.
We’ll take a look at Bitsane – thanks for the tip!
Cheers,
Nikki
Hi Nikki! Thank you very much for a prompt response. Way to go!
