Cryptocurrency is a revolutionary money system that can protect consumer anonymity and prevent government intrusion. It successfully addresses world-wide concerns with the current financial system’s inefficiencies, exorbitant fees, uncontrolled inflation and big-brother oversights. Cryptocurrency is owned by the people and no government or company can control it.
Mining programs tap into your computer's hardware resources and put them to work mining Bitcoin, Litecoin, or another type of cryptocurrency. And no, even if your hardware is used to generate money for them, you don't get any of it.
Bitcoin is a form of digital currency (CryptoCurrency), created and held electronically. No one controls it. Bitcoins aren't printed, like dollars or euros – they're produced by people, and increasingly businesses, running computers all around the world, using software that solves mathematical problems.
