Question 1

What is cryptocurrency?

Accepted Answer

Cryptocurrency is a form of money that exists entirely online. Think about it like digital gold without any ties to a bank or the government. You often hear that crypto is 'decentralized currency' - what does that mean to me? It means that because crypto has no ties to a bank or a government, transactions are cheaper, faster, and all of the people around the world without a bank can participate.

Question 6

So there isn't government involvement in crypto. What does this mean for my taxes?

Even though crypto is not issued or backed by the government, you may need to pay taxes if you make money on the sale of your crypto. If you sell it for a higher price, you may need to pay capital gains taxes, similar to stocks. This is not tax advice.

What is a blockchain?
