You can easily transfer cryptocurrency to someone online without a go-between, like a bank. The most populous cryptocurrencies are Bitcoin and Ethereum, though, new cryptocurrencies continue to be created. Cryptocurrencies might be used by people to make quick payments and avoid transaction fees. Some might even take it as an investment, hoping the values goes up in the nearest future.
