Crypto Craze! Create Your Own Digital Currency

Cryptocurrency is a type of digital currency that operates without a physical form—no coins or bills! Instead, it’s secured by blockchain technology, which keeps track of every transaction made. People use cryptocurrency for many reasons: some see it as a smart investment, others think it’s the future of money, and some people just like the technology behind it. But it also raises big questions, like "How safe is it?", "Should it be regulated?", and "Can we trust something we can’t touch?"

The most popular cryptocurrency is Bitcoin, created in 2009, but there are thousands of others, including Ethereum, Litecoin, and Dogecoin. Cryptocurrencies have changed how people think about money, leading to debates on their environmental impact, security, and potential use cases. Right now, governments and financial experts are still figuring out how to handle this new kind of money.

Your Task:

Imagine you’re a tech innovator who just created a new type of cryptocurrency! Think about the purpose of your currency, its values, and who would use it.

1. Give your cryptocurrency a name and logo. Decide what your currency stands for—will it be eco-friendly, designed to help people save money, or used for special online games?

2. Explain why people should use your currency. Will it help buy certain items, fund charities, or make trading simpler? Describe how people can earn or purchase it. Is it earned by playing a game, saving energy, or maybe studying?

3. Write a pitch to present to a friend, teacher, or class about your currency. Describe its purpose, users, and any cool features that make it unique. Think about what questions people might have, like "Is it safe?" or "Why is it better than money we already use?
