Decentralized currency

[Tanya Shivari]

Digital money organized by a synced distributed ledger online. While centralized currencies are backed by the economies of countries, [decentralized] currencies typically dont have a government affiliation. These currencies are run by incentivized volunteers via appropriate consensus algorithms. Much like incentivized volunteers run Uber, called drivers, and [Airbnb], called hosts, incentivized volunteers, traditionally called miners, run these decentralized currency protocols. Examples of decentralized currencies include Bitcoin and [Ethereum].
