What are cryptocurrencies?
Cryptocurrencies are digital money.
A while ago currencies were only something physical that we used to store value (paper money, gold, silver, or other). In the digital age, money evolved and became not necessarily a tangible object but a digital one, where through a system, like credit cards, wallets, mobile or online banking, value gets transferred.
Cryptocurrencies are the next step, instead of digitizing physical assets to transfer them online, a new class of only digital assets was created, a protocol or program, that serves the same purposes of money, but it only digital.

How is investing in crypto different from investing in Stocks?
What is blockchain?
Blockchain is a kind of relatively new type of technology used by many cryptocurrencies to keep their records. This record keeping system works by saving transactions information in a digital ledger that is organized by successive blocks. All information about a number of transactions is stored in a block which is approved by a decentralized network, closed, and then chained or linked to the previous block, creating the blockchain. After a block is closed, records can't be changed or deleted without having to redo all the sequence of blocks that came after, each of those changes would require the decentralized network to approve, making it virtually impossible. Thus, blockchain is considered a decentralized permanent digital record for transactions.
The desensitization of the blockchain is an important factor, this means that instead of having a centralized party, government or company, that maintains, controls and keeps records which can be susceptible to tampering, information of every successive block is stored and kept by all the decentralized parties, called ‘nodes’. If information is tampered in one or several nodes, there are thousands of other that can be referenced to find the discrepancy and correct it. To hack a blockchain there would need to be a simultaneous hack of the majority of the decentralized network. Because of this the blockchain ledger is considered a permanent record, unchangeable and very secure, that has no single weakness point to be targeted.
