      Chapter 1: Introduction to Cryptocurrencies

      What Are Cryptocurrencies? Cryptocurrencies are digital or virtual currencies that utilize cryptography for security. This cryptographic underpinning ensures the integrity and security of transactions, making it difficult for fraudsters to manipulate the system.
