Furthermore, cryptocurrencies are considered a modern and innovative form of payment that is steadily gaining popularity and can be used in more and more countries, regions, and online shops. The worldwide availability and independence from national currencies or banking systems are thus another important advantage of this payment method.

What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is arguably the most popular and well-known cryptocurrency worldwide. It was introduced in 2009 as a direct response to the financial crisis of 2008. At that time, many people lost trust in traditional banking and were looking for an alternative. This is where Bitcoin emerged as a so-called peer-to-peer electronic cash system: a network in which users can trade directly with each other and exchange currencies.
What exactly is cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrencies are digital or virtual currencies secured by cryptography. Behind this lies a sophisticated technology based on the so-called blockchain.
It is important to know that cryptocurrencies, unlike payment methods such as credit cards or bank transfers, are not based on conventional currencies like the Euro or the Dollar. This independence is particularly appreciated by many users.
Stablecoins, on the other hand, are cryptocurrencies designed to maintain a stable value. Unlike volatile cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ether, the prices of stablecoins do not fluctuate constantly but are linked to a stable asset.
