Step by step to invest in cryptocurrencies and what is their value

Cryptocurrencies are an innovative digital asset that have experienced monumental growth in recent times due to several elements that contribute to this, including that some governments have decided to give them an opportunity as legal tender;However, they have also suffered disasters that have called into question their viability, such as the most recent episode known as the “crypto winter.”

However, investing or buying in cryptocurrencies is easier than it seems. We must remember that these are virtual currencies, so they will be controlled in wallets or purses that share this particularity, because unlike ordinary money, they do not have a physical support.

When creating a cryptocurrency it is important to first determine what asset you want to have: a coin or a token.The first uses its own blockchain, while the second is based on a pre-existing network.

According to the Binance site, to create a cryptocurrency you need a large team of developers and experts;while technical knowledge is required for the token but it is possible to create it in minutes through the use of other blockchains such as Ethereum or BNB, which are the most popular.

The creation costs, the time required and the use of labor will depend on whether you choose to make a virtual currency or a token.In the latter case, you can also use an established code to create tokens or pay to use a coin creation service.

It is important to know that before creating a cryptocurrency, its usefulness and legal status must be considered.

In the case of choosing to create a cryptocurrency, then a blockchain must be chosen, then a plan must be made according to the operation and functionality of the blockchain to design the nodes and the interface.
