To start, every transaction on the blockchain is verified by \u00ab\u00a0miners\u00a0\u00bb who are individuals using powerful computers to crunch the numbers. These miners make sure that every single block is compatible with all the others that came before it. Any effort to tamper with the blockchain would need to edit multiple blocks simultaneously to ensure constant agreement \u2014 a task that\u2019s almost impossible to do.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, whoever owns the computers that successfully verify a transaction will be rewarded with brand new cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, in the example above). This provides an impressive incentive structure to keep the miners ahead of the hackers.<\/p>\n<p>Blockchains also have an added security. Every single token is traceable through every account it has ever been in.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How are various crypto tokens different?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7868\" src=\"https:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Cryptocurrency-blockchain-tokens-1030x635.jpg\" alt=\"Cryptocurrency blockchain tokens\" width=\"707\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Cryptocurrency-blockchain-tokens-1030x635.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Cryptocurrency-blockchain-tokens-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Cryptocurrency-blockchain-tokens-768x474.jpg 768w, https:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Cryptocurrency-blockchain-tokens-1500x925.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Cryptocurrency-blockchain-tokens-705x435.jpg 705w, https:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Cryptocurrency-blockchain-tokens-450x277.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 707px) 100vw, 707px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Each individual crypto token has its own blockchain, some of which operate differently.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Ethereum&rsquo;s blockchain is programmable, allowing for the development of \u00ab\u00a0smart contracts\u00a0\u00bb that automatically fulfill themselves once set conditions are met. Bitcoin&rsquo;s blockchain lacks this functionality.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, various blockchains have different processing speeds, with Ethereum generally moving more quickly than Bitcoin. Of course, actual processing speeds are always variable depending on the number and quality of miners verifying the transactions at any given moment.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Supply and demand<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7865\" src=\"https:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Cryptocurrency-blockchain-supply-and-demand-1030x687.jpg\" alt=\"Cryptocurrency blockchain supply and demand\" width=\"708\" height=\"472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Cryptocurrency-blockchain-supply-and-demand-1030x687.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Cryptocurrency-blockchain-supply-and-demand-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Cryptocurrency-blockchain-supply-and-demand-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Cryptocurrency-blockchain-supply-and-demand-1500x1000.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Cryptocurrency-blockchain-supply-and-demand-705x470.jpg 705w, https:\/\/liquidcapitalcorp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Cryptocurrency-blockchain-supply-and-demand-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 708px) 100vw, 708px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are many different types of cryptocurrency coins, and each has a differently planned circulation \u2014 or how much of it is available to the marketplace. Coins with lower planned circulations, such as Bitcoin&rsquo;s 21,000,000 BTC, tend to be favored by investors since the limited supply translates into a higher price if demand is also high.<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, Ripple&rsquo;s planned circulation of 100,000,000,000 XRP means that any single XRP can&rsquo;t be worth that much \u2014 no matter how high demand climbs.<\/p>\n<p>However, a very large supply is a prerequisite for any coin hoping to compete with traditional currencies for everyday transactions, such as the U.S. Dollar.
