From the Bee, here is the definitive guide to cryptocurrency:
But what IS cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrency is a completely virtual currency that exists only online. You never have to worry about using your wallet because there's no physical money to keep track of. All you have to do is remember one simple 38-character hexadecimal password, answer the bridgekeeper'sfivethree questions, and go on a quest across the galaxy to retrieve all six Infinity Stones to access your account. Easy! There's also stuff about mining and blockchains and stuff but honestly, we still don't understand it.
Are there different types of cryptocurrency?
Yes. Currencies like Bitcoin and Dogecoin are probably the most popular, but there are hundreds of different types! Some lesser-known varieties include the following:
- BLMcoin
- EpsteinDidntKillHimselfCoin
- RonPaulCoin
- ChuckECheeseCoin
- Larrycoin -- a coin exclusively for people named Larry.
Obviously satire, but it's close.
