Cryptocurrency is a type of digital currency which seems to have emerged from nowhere over the past few years. It is what is known as a “decentralised” system which to the uninitiated means that it is run by several different offices rather than one central one. The system is also governed by cryptography which is defined as “the art of writing or solving codes” which sounds very James Bond! The more prominent type of cryptocurrency that the masses are likely to have heard of is Bitcoin.
