I do have a Coinbase account and I am learning about Crypto. In fact, I have $300.00 floating around in the Crypto markets that seems to be lost to me forever (Well, that’s another conversation)  Currently my understanding of the Crypto Market is miniscule at best. However, a nagging thought continues to resonate in my head- ‘The debt and the American dollar has no choice but to eventually collapse!’ In my ignorance about the stock market, crypto market or financial investing as a whole, common sense tells me our debt (as a nation) cannot correct itself.

I keep thinking too, a new system is the only way to maneuver around the insanity of printing money using a bad check! I thought to post the following for those of you, like me who are trying to understand this new digital currency. Thanks to a couple of great friends I am learning a little bit more, everyday!

A different kind of money

Cryptocurrencies exist to improve the way we think about money. Here are just a few reasons why they have the potential to be the fastest, easiest, cheapest, safest, and most universal way to exchange value…ever.

First things first, how do you use crypto?

Here are just a few things you can do with cryptocurrency on Coinbase:

Save Some customers choose to hold on to their crypto in case its value goes up. Bitcoin was last decade’s best-performing cryptocurrency — its value increased 2,600%+ since 2014.            Use Each cryptocurrency is designed for a specific purpose. On Coinbase you can buy over 40 assets and learn about how they work in just a few taps. Spend Use your crypto to pay for travel, buy gift cards, eat at restaurants, and more. The number of places that accept crypto is growing every day. Or use Coinbase Card, a contactless Visa debit card that’s funded by your Coinbase balance. Coinbase Card makes spending crypto as easy as spending the money in your bank account. Earn Watch a video. Complete a quiz. Earn crypto. It’s that simple. With Earn, Coinbase customers can earn in crypto just by learning through educational videos and tutorials. Send Forget conversion fees or wire transfer waits; sending crypto to anyone in the world is fast and cost-effective. And what exactly is it? Good question. Put simply, cryptocurrency is digital currency (meaning: there are no physical coins or banknotes) that isn’t tied to a central entity, like the Bank of England or US Federal Reserve. Instead, it runs on decentralized computer networks that let anyone participate. Cryptocurrency is built to work worldwide and has the potential to be the fastest, easiest, cheapest, safest, and most universal way to exchange value… ever. Learn more about crypto. Okay, but what about “blockchains” and “mining”? Honestly? Don’t sweat it.
