          What Is A Cryptocurrency? Cryptocurrencies are just lines of computer code that hold monetary value. Those lines of code are created by electricity and high-performance computers. Cryptocurrency is also known as digital currency.

Physically, there is nothing to hold.  'Crypto' comes from the word cryptography, the security process used to protect transactions that send the lines of code out for purchases. Cryptography also controls the creation of new 'coins', the term used to describe specific amounts of code.

Most cryptocurrencies begin with a market cap in mind, which means that their production will decrease over time thus, ideally, m...

But he added that Bitcoin's rise was not big enough to unsettle the economy. Unlike traditional currencies, Bitcoin is not issued by a central bank or government. source
