How Cryptocurrency Works: Easy Explanation. (Basics) [Video]

This is a video on “how cryptocurrency works & why was there a need for it”. #Cyrpto #needforcryptocurrency #wallstreetmojo #cryptocurrency #miners Chapters: 00:00 – Introduction 00:12 – How a Standards Payment transaction takes place? 00:57 – Issues with the standard payment system? 01:20 – Why cryptocurrency is needed? 01:42 – What happens in a Crypto transaction? 02:15 – What is the function of miners in a crypto transaction? 02:30 – How a crypto transaction takes place? 02:50 – What are the benefits or security aspects of crypto transactions? 03:16 – Conclusion In this video tutorial, we will discuss the standard payment system & its flaws, how cryptocurrency works, why was there a need for it, the steps in a crypto transaction, the work of miners, etc. Please see the video for complete detail on the topic. For understanding how cryptocurrency works & why was there a need for it we need to understand the standard payments systems in simple language. It’s a three-step process. The shops have payment accepting machines that send data to intermediaries. Intermediary checks with your card bank which verifies your data & deducts money from your account, and the transaction goes ahead. Bank updates your new account records. The data travels the same way back. (Explained in detail in the video) But there are problems with the bank-controlled payment system: 1. High transaction fee 2. Transaction limits 3. Technical issues etc. Having a system which has no bank or central authority will resolve these issues. But, can we cannot trust a single authority or a person to keep records of your transactions and not alter them and cheat you in any way? However, we can trust the entire network of people. This is what happens in a CRYPTO transaction. The whole system is decentralized. This means a copy of a transaction gets distributed as a digital ledger where transactions are recorded to owners of many computers across the world with the same cryptocurrency as you. The transaction gets verified by “miners” (we will cover this in our coming videos). So, when you buy something using a cryptocurrency, this is what happens. 1. You give your crypto details to the shopkeeper. 2. The shopkeeper asks every person on the network if you have the money. 3. The network checks all your records. 4. If you have the money, they tell the shopkeeper, update your records, and the transaction is complete. And if they did, their copy would not match the copies distributed across the entire network, and they would be caught red-handed. You also get rid of any transaction limit and many more benefits (taken up in the video). This is broadly how the world of cryptocurrency works. We will cover all the sub-parts of crypto in detail in our coming videos, so stay tuned. And don’t forget to subscribe and hit that thumbs-up button. And like and share our video, this keeps us motivated to provide better videos to you. ========================================================================== Subscribe to Our Channel – Youtube ► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChlNXSK2tC9SJ2Fhhb2kOUw?sub_confirmation=1 LinkedIn ► https://www.linkedin.com/company/wallstreetmojo/ Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/wallstreetmojo Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/wallstreetmojoofficial/ Twitter ► https://twitter.com/wallstreetmojo

Digital wallets (Easy Explanation) [Video]

This is the Video on “Digital Wallets”. Chapters: 00:00 – Introduction 00:16 – Why digital wallet is needed? 01:07 – What is a digital wallet? 01:40 – How digital wallet transaction happens? 01:55 – Are digital wallets safe? 02:46 –What is tokenization? 02:55 – Example of Digital wallet security. 03:16 – Conclusion In this video tutorial, we will discuss what is a digital wallet & why are they needed, how a digital wallet transaction happens, its security, tokenization, example, etc Digital wallet A digital or an e-wallet like a Paypal or Google Pay is electronic software that stores a user's bank card in one place, allowing the transfer of money or any other transaction without using a physical card or cash. It is a non-physical mode of transaction. For using them, you need to download these digital wallets on your phone from the Google store or any Apple store and transfer your funds from your bank account. Also, you have to register yourself with these digital wallets. Security: Digital wallets have always been a better security option than credit cards because they come with multi-factor identification. E.g. along with the password, another security option like a face scan or fingerprint authentication. So, if someone steals your phone and somehow gets through your initial password, they won’t be able to get any further because your fingerprints or your face scan scanner will be missing. A digital wallet secures all your passwords and card details through a process called encryption which makes it impossible for anyone to steal your data. Mobile wallets depend on tokenization, where your card number is replaced by a randomly generated number called a token. Because of these walls of security, the use of digital wallets is growing by the day, and the number of people using digital wallets is expected to reach 4.4 billion by 2025. #digitalwallets #wallets #wallstreetmojo #Googlepay #Paypal #tokenization ========================================================================== Subscribe to Our Channel – Youtube ► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChlNXSK2tC9SJ2Fhhb2kOUw?sub_confirmation=1 LinkedIn ► https://www.linkedin.com/company/wallstreetmojo/ Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/wallstreetmojo Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/wallstreetmojoofficial/ Twitter ► https://twitter.com/wallstreetmojo

Chapters: 00:00 – Introduction 00:25 -Introduction to Online Trading process. 00:58 – What is the Demat Account? 01:48 -What is a Trading Account? 02:12 – How do Demat and the trading account work together? 02:54 – Can one open a trading account without a Demat account? 02:17 – Example of Demat account without trading account and vice versa? 03:35 – How to open a Demat and trading account? 04:10 – How to decide brokerage firm for the Demat account? 04:35 – Conclusion In this video tutorial, we will discuss what is is Demat & Trading Account, how Demat and trading account work together, can we open a trading account without a Demat account & vice versa and examples! How to open a Demat and trading account and which brokerage firm, etc. A Demat or a Dematerialized account is like a saving account that holds all your shares and securities in an electronic format. Just as a savings account allows you to keep track of your money deposited in banks a Demat account allows you to digitally store and keep track of your shares and securities that you buy and sell from the stock market. When you open your Demat account, you will be provided with a unique account number, just like when you open your bank accounts. And the best thing about a Demat account is that you can open it without a single penny in your bank account. What is a trading account? A trading account allows you to trade or buy and sell shares, securities or carry out any other transactions in stock markets. It’s a bridge between your bank account and your Demat account, where you transfer your funds from your bank account to a trading account to buy and sell shares stored in your Demat account. Opening a trading account without a Demat account or vice-versa is not mandatory. But opening a Demat account without a trading account is like opening a storage godown without the facility of transportation. You need transportation to carry your goods from godown to the market and vice-versa. Similarly, you need a trading account to move your shares which means buying and selling shares. So, how you can actually open these accounts. Select a broker of your choice. You’ll be provided with an account opening form. Make sure you provide. Then, all your details correctly., let the authorities verify your ID proofs and documents. Finally, once your application is approved, fund your account and start trading or investing. Before choosing a brokerage firm, make sure you have checked all the features, and fees, such as transaction and annual maintenance fees, etc. ========================================================================== Subscribe to Our Channel – Youtube ► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChlNXSK2tC9SJ2Fhhb2kOUw?sub_confirmation=1 LinkedIn ► https://www.linkedin.com/company/wallstreetmojo/ Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/wallstreetmojo Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/wallstreetmojoofficial/ Twitter ► https://twitter.com/wallstreetmojo
