Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum and other cryptos
The virtual currency Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can now be traded with most brokers. With Bitcoin, no public institutions are required. Bitcoin was first published in 2008 under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. The payment transactions are made via a combination of many computers via a special software handled. To get Bitcoins, you only need a virtual wallet, a so-called wallet. A wallet exists only once and is encrypted. The wallet can be installed on any computer or smartphone. You can then use the bitcoin address to send or receive bitcoins. Thus, anonymous payments are also possible possible as your name or address does not appear. All movements are stored in the blockchain. The blockchain is a large database that is encrypted and used for is visible to everyone. The big difference of cryptocurrencies is that the currency is not issued by a bank. Bitoins are created by calculating complex arithmetic tasks, that require a lot of computing power. This is called mining. Mining creates new blocks and adds them to the database (blockchain). If you want mines yourself, there is powerful hardware with optimized chips. Special software runs day and night and solves the complex arithmetic tasks to generate new bitcoins. This consumes a lot of power and you should also pay attention to good cooling.

that can be generated is limited to 21 million. There are currently around 16.8 million. As with raw materials, pricing should take place through supply and demand.

The cryptocurrency Ethereum has been around since 2015, with the developers aiming for an alternative to Bitcoin. Ethereum is much more than a cryptocurrency - it is an open source network.
The price of Ethereum has also risen sharply since its launch. Some even claim that Ethereum is better than Bitcoin. For Ethereum there is at
