 What is cryptocurrency ?

Each cryptocurrency is backed by a Blockchain protocol whose technological prowess could be summarized as follows:
- The exchange of value via the internet is made possible. This is the birth of digital assets. While an electronic file can be copied and shared endlessly (image, text, music), cryptocurrency cannot be duplicated.
- Storage of information on a tamper-proof register, requiring no trusted third party.
​This technology that generates so much enthusiasm opens the way to unexplored opportunities. Numerous projects, carried out by multiple teams, have thus been able to see the light of day.
Here is a classification of the different cryptocurrencies according to their uses.

           01/ Infrastructure cryptocurrencies

These cryptocurrencies are associated with platforms designed to make the most of the two aspects mentioned above: these are computer protocols allowing the creation of more complex applications, taking advantage of the possibilities offered by Blockchain technology. Smart contracts (or “intelligent contracts”) and Dapps (Decentralized Applications) are the most promising elements.
These projects are intended to become the creative bases on which new services will be based. Among the applications most often mentioned, we could cite:
​- Decentralized voting system
- Creation of customizable derivative cryptocurrencies
- Certification register
- Automatic execution of immutable contracts
- Fundraising platform
- Marketplace with decentralized operation
- Secure shared public database
- etc.
​Examples: Ethereum, NEO, IOTA, NEM, Waves, Lisk

             02/ Cryptocurrencies for payment systems

These electronic currencies embody the best-known application in the blockchain universe: a token (or token, coin, digital asset) as a unit of value to enable exchanges. This is the primary use of Bitcoin, as formulated by Satoshi Nakamoto in his 2009 white paper. Since then, a multitude of new cryptocurrencies have been launched. Each offers different characteristics:
- Number of units in circulation
- Issue and distribution of currency
- Speed of transactions
- Level of anonymity
- Predefined governance mode
- etc.
​Examples: Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Dash, Monero

              03/ Cryptocurrencies for specific uses (Services)

Many applications are trying to leverage the potential of Blockchain technology to create new uses. In this case, cryptocurrency is used to support various economic systems, linked to the services offered. For this category, the token responds to a specific application.
Ex: Sia is a computer storage space sharing network, peer-to-peer, and operating autonomously; this system is enabled by the inclusion of SiaCoin, the network's currency, directly at the heart of the protocol. The range of possible possibilities remains very wide. The associated electronic currencies meet a specific use: proof of identification, exchange of services, voting system, currency for donations, etc.
Examples: Sia, Storj, Augur, Golem, Civic, Iconomi, Steemit Note: it is not uncommon to see applications emerge, with their own exchange units, from blockchain infrastructures mentioned previously. In other words: blockchain infrastructures are likely to allow the creation of multiple currencies called tokens.
