    At first, cryptocurrency terminology may seem confusing, but do not worry, it gets simpler and will soon make sense. Many words of cryptocurrency originate from software development that’s been around for a lot longer. These more recent terms for cryptocurrencies emerge from slang words or phrases that are now common in the culture of cryptocurrencies.

    We will look at the top most popular cryptocurrency terms throughout this article, which you’ll need to know and describe what they imply.

    DDoS Attack

    When several parties work together to overload a device by burdening that with both requests for data, malicious activity, a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack place.[4] The malicious involved parties in an attack action to avoid a resource, including a server, from becoming able to provide a specific service, like hosting a web page.

    FUD

    This refers to “fear, uncertainty, and doubt.” This is a marketplace scenario where a group of individuals creates misinformation data about a given cryptocurrency that induce others’ mind emotions of fear, uncertainty. Individuals do this to drop down a cryptocurrency’s price and instead benefit from it by buying at a convenient price.

    Fiat Money

    Fiat money is a legal currency’s value, as the US dollar, is supported by the government which released it.

    Fork

    A fork produces alternative blockchain variants but then the split blockchain operates on various parts of the system simultaneously. A “hard fork” makes legitimate previous transactions null, and inversely; a “soft fork” makes fraudulent transactions formerly valid, but invalid.

    Hardware Wallet

    A physical device intended to securely store any cryptocurrency, practically like the most simple USB drive, from the device.

    Hashing

    The method through which you mine bitcoin or related cryptocurrency, leveraging cryptographic algorithms while helping to address the differential equation inside it.

    BIP (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal)

    BIP is the abbreviation of ‘Bitcoin Improvement Proposal’. This is a standardized way to introduce functions and other issues, such as design issues. Because of the decentralized nature of Bitcoin and therefore the lack of a formal structure, this system is used to improve Bitcoin in a well-founded and consensus-driven way.

    Block Reward

    The block reward is the payment that is offered to the node that is securing the blockchain. In the case of Bitcoin, which is has a Proof-of-Work consensus algorithm, these would be the miners. The payment is in the form of the native cryptocurrency of that blockchain. The amount is a predetermined reward per block, but often that is supplemented with the fees that are paid for the transactions that block contains. For Bitcoin, the current block rewards are cut in half every four years. This is called the ‘halving’.

    Block Size

    The block size represents the size of each block in a blockchain. Transactions are stored in a blockchain block. For Bitcoin, this is limited to 1MB per block. More transactions can be stored when the blocks are larger. This is the case with many altcoins. There are also disadvantages to large blocks, such as the required storage space. Also, it can become less attractive for miners if the transaction fees become too low as a result of large blocks.
