Investing in Hive Blockchain

Hello Hivians.
This is my first post in the Leo Finance Community and today I will talk about investing in Hive.

<p dir="auto">Let's start from discussing the basics of cryptocurrency. <p dir="auto">In simple words cryptocurrency is a digital currency which is decentralized in nature and all the data is stored in servers in the form of hash. There is no central authority like government or bank. The main purpose of cryptocurrency is that it can enable anyone anywhere to send and receive payments. <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/DQmcnxspNuEA4sB6gpfJQA76VNURVGnowkwdhLhXnscTjYU/822.png" alt="822.png" /> <p dir="auto">Cryptocurrency are further classified into different types that are utility, DeFi tokens, security, stablecoins etc.<br /> The main reason for the invention of cryptocurrency is to reduce the dependence on government and banks making it decentralized. Cryptocurrency are very volatile in Nature meaning it has high a\Alpha(returns) but also has high Beta(risk).<br /> The first cryptocurrency invented by Satoshi Nakamoto in the year 2009. <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/DQmZ7UyGL63vsJ1FRfv9VfjkWtwmf72hfdFNE7GC1EdakQb/bitcoin-gf88e6809c_1920.jpg" alt="bitcoin-gf88e6809c_1920.jpg" /> <p dir="auto">According to me Cryptocurrency has a very bright future like the internet bubble, but as it is a very new technology in will take time for thing to happen.
