Cryptocurrency
Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin
are becoming increasingly recognised in the mainstream with the Australian government legalising digital currencies in 2017. Cryptocurrency
is decentralised digital currency used to exchange or store value. Rather than rely on a central bank or an issuing authority,
cryptocurrencies rely on complex blockchain technology. These blockchains regulate the generation of additional units and store digital
footprints which can be viewed or accessed by anyone. To learn more about cryptocurrency and how it is regulated, you can follow
