Therefore the decision wasn’t a tough one, especially as this is a topic very close to my heart.

In it’s simplest form, cryptocurrency is an encrypted digital currency, transferred peer to peer and managed by a decentralised public ledger (a blockchain), without the need for a central institution, e.g. a bank. The most well known cryptocurrency is Bitcoin. “Speak English’ I hear you cry! I hear you, I'm still baffled by it on a daily basis but nevertheless, it has captured my imagination. More recently I explored how transactions work in this world and was intrigued by the unfamiliar and confronting rules by which it is governed.
