Crypto means a person who adheres or belongs secretly to a party or group, not openly declared. Cryptocurrency is a virtual currency or digital currency that is secured by cryptography, which makes it nearly impossible to counterfeit or double-spend. Many cryptocurencies are decentralized networks based on blockchain technology - a distributed ledger enforced by a disparate network of computers.
