Blockchain

La blockchain est une base de données décentralisée et transparente utilisée pour enregistrer des transactions. Elle se compose d’une chaîne de blocs, chaque bloc contenant des informations sur plusieurs transactions. La blockchain est un élément central de nombreuses cryptomonnaies, car elle garantit la sécurité, la transparence et la confiance dans le système. Chaque bloc est relié au bloc précédent par des liens cryptographiques, assurant l’intégrité des données.

Broker

Un courtier en cryptomonnaies est une entreprise ou une plateforme qui permet aux utilisateurs d’acheter ou de vendre des cryptomonnaies. Contrairement aux plateformes d’échange qui permettent le véritable commerce de cryptomonnaies, un courtier en cryptomonnaies propose généralement un processus d’achat et de vente simplifié, souvent associé à un prix plus élevé. Un courtier peut également offrir des services supplémentaires, comme la possibilité d’échanger des cryptomonnaies contre des monnaies fiduciaires ou de les stocker dans un portefeuille. En général, les courtiers en cryptomonnaies conviennent particulièrement aux débutants sans expérience dans le trading de cryptomonnaies.

Bull example 1

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Button

C
Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)

CBDC stands for "Central Bank Digital Currency" and refers to a digital currency issued by a central bank. Unlike cryptocurrencies, which are decentralized and not controlled by any central authority, a CBDC is issued and regulated by a government or central bank.

Centralization

In the financial system, centralization refers to the concentration of power, control, and decision-making in a central institution or organization. This could be a central bank or a regulatory authority that exercises control over the financial system. High centralization in the financial system can have both advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, a strong central authority can help ensure the stability and integrity of the financial system by, for example, controlling the money supply and implementing regulations for banks and other financial institutions. On the other hand, excessive centralization can result in decisions and resources being concentrated in a few institutions or individuals, increasing the risk of abuse and corruption.

Crypto Example 1

Donec sagittis sem orci, et mattis tortor lacinia quis. Morbi mollis ipsum maximus leo tempor, faucibus lobortis nisl faucibus. Aliquam eu fringilla nisl. Donec varius tempus eleifend. Vivamus at nibh eu justo tempor blandit. Vestibulum vel mi tellus. Sed vitae eleifend nisl.

Cryptocurrency

A cryptocurrency is a digital currency secured by cryptography and based on a blockchain. Cryptocurrencies are decentralized systems in which transactions are conducted directly between participants without a central intermediary. Cryptocurrencies can be used as a medium of exchange or serve as an asset that can be held or traded.

Cryptography

Cryptography is a method used to securely encrypt and decrypt information. It protects data from unauthorized access and ensures that only authorized individuals can access it. Cryptography plays a crucial role in the security of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies by protecting transactions and data from manipulation and fraud. It helps strengthen trust in digital systems by ensuring that information is confidential, integrity-protected, and authentic.

D
Decentralization

Decentralization: Decentralization refers to the distribution of power, control, and data among various participants in a network. In the context of cryptocurrencies, decentralization means that there is no central authority or institution controlling the network. Instead, control is distributed among many participants, making the network more resistant to censorship and manipulation.

Deflation

Deflation refers to a price correction occurring when there are more goods and commodities available on the market than there are buyers. The supply exceeds the demand. People no longer have enough money to purchase the goods, resulting in falling prices. Deflation can have positive effects like lower prices for consumers and higher profits for businesses, but it can also have negative impacts such as a downward spiral of low demand and declining economic activity. Governments and central banks often take measures to combat deflationand promote economic stability.

Digital Currency

A digital currency is a type of currency that exists entirely in digital form and has no physical presence. Cryptocurrencies are an example of digital currencies that are secured and managed through the use of encryption technology.

Distributed Ledger Technology

Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) is a method of storing and managing data across multiple computers in a network rather than storing it on a central server. A well-known example of DLT is blockchain technology, where transaction data is recorded in blocks connected through cryptographic mechanisms. DLT can help enhance the security and transparency of data by reducing vulnerabilities present in centralized systems.

Dogecoin (DOGE)

DOGE (Dogecoin) is a decentralized digital cryptocurrency, often referred to as a memecoin, based on the internet meme "Doge." It was initially created as a joke but has gained popularity over the years and is now used by many as a form of digital tipping or alternative payment for goods and services. The number of Dogecoins is not limited, making it more susceptible to inflation compared to some other cryptocurrencies.

Double Spending

Double spending refers to the attempt to spend the same unit of cryptocurrency twice. In decentralized networks, this problem is solved through cryptographic mechanisms and confirmation of transactions to ensure that a unit of cryptocurrency can only be spent once.

E
Ethereum (ETH)

ETH (Ethereum) is a decentralized platform that allows developers to program their own applications and smart contracts. The currency of Ethereum is called Ether and is used to perform transactions on the platform. Ethereum is more flexible than Bitcoin and enables developers to create customized applications on the platform.

Ethereum Classic (ETC)

ETC (Ethereum Classic) is a cryptocurrency and blockchain platform that emerged as a fork of Ethereum. The fork occurred after a major theft of Ethereum coins in 2016, and the Ethereum community decided to reverse the transactions to recover the stolen coins. A portion of the Ethereum community opposed this decision and remained with the original blockchain, which later became known as Ethereum Classic. Ethereum Classic has its own cryptocurrency, ETC, which is used as a means of payment on the platform and can also be used for executing smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps).

Exchange

Une plateforme d’échange de cryptomonnaies est une plateforme numérique où les utilisateurs peuvent acheter, vendre et échanger des cryptomonnaies. Il existe des plateformes centralisées et décentralisées : les plateformes centralisées sont gérées par une entreprise qui contrôle les fonds des utilisateurs, tandis que les plateformes décentralisées sont basées sur la technologie blockchain et ne disposent d’aucun contrôle centralisé. Certaines plateformes offrent également des fonctionnalités avancées, telles que le trading sur marge et le staking.

EZB

La Banque centrale européenne (BCE), basée à Francfort-sur-le-Main, est la banque centrale de la zone euro et est responsable de la politique monétaire dans l'union monétaire. La BCE joue un rôle crucial dans la fixation des taux directeurs et la surveillance de l'évolution de la masse monétaire pour maintenir la stabilité des prix dans la zone euro.

F
Fear of missing out (FOMO)

Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) refers to the fear of missing out on potential gains. FOMO can lead investors to act impulsively without sufficient research or proper risk assessment. This behavior can result in irrational decisions and excessive buying, which in turn can lead to inflated prices and potential losses.

Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD)

Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) refers to the spread of negative information, rumors, or uncertainties to create doubt or fear among investors and diminish the value of a particular cryptocurrency or the cryptocurrency market as a whole.

Filecoin (FIL)

First-Layer

First-layer cryptocurrencies refer to digital currencies developed on their own blockchain platform, serving as the primary layer or base of the crypto ecosystem. These cryptocurrencies use their own native cryptocurrency as fuel to process transactions within the network and maintain network security through consensus mechanisms like proof-of-work or proof-of-stake. Some examples of first-layer cryptocurrencies are Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, and Bitcoin Cash.

G
Gas example

"But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?"

Hot Wallet

A hot wallet in the cryptocurrency market is a wallet that is connected to the internet and used for quick access to cryptocurrencies. It allows users to manage their cryptocurrencies online and perform transactions rapidly. However, since a hot wallet is connected to the internet, it carries a higher risk of hacks and theft compared to cold storage. Hot wallets are often used for daily use and small amounts, while larger amounts of cryptocurrencies are kept more securely in cold storage.

I
Inflation

L’inflation désigne l’augmentation du niveau général des prix des biens et services dans une économie sur une période donnée. Cela entraîne une diminution du pouvoir d’achat de la monnaie. L’inflation peut avoir diverses causes, telles qu’une augmentation de la demande, la hausse des coûts de production ou une politique monétaire expansionniste. Une inflation modérée peut avoir des effets positifs, comme des incitations à la consommation et à l’investissement, tandis qu’une inflation élevée ou incontrôlée peut avoir des conséquences négatives, telles que l’incertitude et la dévalorisation des actifs.

Investing

Investing refers to the purchase of assets such as stocks, bonds, or cryptocurrencies with the goal of making a profit in the long term. It involves a willingness to take risks and invest capital over an extended period.

K
Key Interest Rate

The benchmark interest rate in the financial sector is the rate at which the central bank of a country lends or accepts money from commercial banks. The benchmark interest rate serves as a tool of monetary policy and influences the overall interest rate structure in the economy. When the central bank lowers the benchmark interest rate, money becomes more available and cheaper, stimulating lending and investment. Conversely, an increase in the benchmark interest rate makes borrowing more expensive and can dampen economic activity. The benchmark interest rate affects, among other things, interest rates for loans, mortgages, and investments, and has implications for the economic activity and financial market of a country.

KYC (Know Your Customer)

Know Your Customer (KYC) in the crypto market refers to the process of verifying the identity and customer information by exchanges and platforms. It is a measure to combat money laundering, terrorism financing, and other illicit activities. Users are required to prove their identity by submitting personal documents such as identification documents or address proofs to access certain features or higher trading limits.

Litecoin is used as a medium of exchange for goods and services and can be traded on various cryptocurrency exchanges.

M
Market example 1

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Metaverse

Le métavers désigne un monde virtuel ou un écosystème composé de mondes virtuels interconnectés, habités par une communauté d’utilisateurs. Il peut être vu comme une forme de réalité augmentée où les utilisateurs créent des avatars numériques, interagissent entre eux, possèdent des actifs numériques et utilisent des services dans le monde virtuel.

Mining

Mining is the process of verifying new transactions and adding them to a blockchain. It is performed by specialized computers or mining devices that must solve complex mathematical problems. By solving these problems, new units of the respective cryptocurrency are created and given to the miners as a reward. Mining is essential for the security and integrity of a blockchain, as it ensures that transactions are correct and that double spending does not occur. Mining is primarily used in blockchains that employ the proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism.

Mobile App example 1

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

Monero (XMR)

XMR (Monero) is a cryptocurrency that is based on blockchain technology and aims to ensure privacy and anonymity of transactions. Unlike Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies where transactions are publicly visible, Monero obscures the identity of the senders and recipients as well as the amount sent in each transaction. Monero is also used to protect users living in countries where the government restricts or monitors the use of cryptocurrencies. Monero utilizes a special technology called "Ring Signature" to anonymize transactions and is tradable on various crypto exchanges.

Money Creation

Money creation refers to the process of introducing new money into an economy. In traditional fiat money systems, this is achieved through central banks and the credit process by commercial banks. In cryptocurrencies, money creation is achieved through mining or staking.

N
Nodes

Nodes are participants in the network of decentralized systems like blockchain that receive, validate, and propagate data and transactions. Each node has a copy of the blockchain, which is constantly updated, and all transactions stored in the blockchain are verified by the nodes to ensure they comply with the network's rules. Nodes can be either full nodes, which hold a complete copy of the blockchain, or lightweight nodes, which store only certain parts of the blockchain to save storage space. Nodes play a vital role in maintaining the integrity and security of the network by ensuring all transactions are correct and consistent.

O
Obligations d'État

Les obligations d'État sont des titres de créance émis par les gouvernements pour emprunter de l'argent aux investisseurs. Elles permettent aux gouvernements de financer leurs budgets et de soutenir des projets. Les investisseurs reçoivent des paiements d'intérêts et, à l'échéance, le capital investi leur est restitué.

OKB

OKB is a token issued by the crypto exchange OKEx. It is a utility token that can be used for paying trading fees, margin trading, staking, and other services on the platform.

OKEx has also implemented a buyback and burn strategy for OKB to increase the token's value over time.

P
Peer-to-Peer

Une transaction peer-to-peer est une transaction directe entre deux parties sans qu'une autorité centrale n'agisse comme intermédiaire. Cela signifie que la transaction a lieu directement entre les deux parties, sans qu’un tiers ne la surveille ou ne l’autorise. Les transactions peer-to-peer peuvent être utilisées dans divers domaines, notamment la technologie financière, où elles permettent aux utilisateurs d’envoyer et de recevoir des paiements sans avoir besoin d’une banque ou d’un autre prestataire de services de paiement. Dans le contexte du Bitcoin, le réseau peer-to-peer du protocole Bitcoin permet des transactions directes entre utilisateurs sans recourir à une autorité centrale.

Platform Token

A platform token refers to a type of cryptocurrency issued on a blockchain platform and used as a means of payment for accessing specific services or features within that platform. Platform tokens can also be used as fuel for processing transactions and supporting the network security model. Examples of platform tokens include Ether for Ethereum, Binance Coin for Binance Smart Chain, and TRONix for the TRON blockchain. Platform tokens are often a vital component in the funding and development of decentralized applications (DApps) and smart contract ecosystems.

Polkadot (DOT)

Polkadot (DOT) is a decentralized blockchain platform developed to address the scalability and interoperability challenges of blockchain networks. It enables the connection of different blockchain networks and communication between them to facilitate seamless integration of decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. Polkadot utilizes a unique consensus mechanism called "Nominated Proof-of-Stake" that provides a higher level of security and decentralization. The platform also has its own cryptocurrency called DOT, which is used as a means of payment for transactions on the platform.

Private Key

La Private Key est un code secret associé à votre portefeuille qui vous permet de dépenser ou d’envoyer des cryptomonnaies. Si le Public Key est le numéro de compte, alors la Private Key en est le mot de passe. Il est crucial de garder votre Private Key en sécurité et de ne jamais la partager avec qui que ce soit, car une autre personne pourrait ainsi accéder à vos cryptomonnaies.

Proof-of-Stake

Proof of Stake (PoS) is an alternative consensus mechanism for cryptocurrencies that is based on the ownership of coins or tokens, in contrast to Proof ofWork (PoW). In PoS, block producers or validators are selected by staking their coins or tokens on the network and then creating and validating new blocks. The probability of being selected as a block producer is proportional to the size of the stake. Unlike PoW, PoS is more resource-efficient as it requires less energy and computational power. It is also intended to reduce centralization, as participants with more coins or tokens have more influence but do not necessarily have an advantage over other participants to manipulate the consensus decision.

Proof-of-Work

Proof-of-Work (PoW) is a consensus mechanism used in some blockchains such as Bitcoin. Miners compete to solve complex mathematical problems to create new blocks and verify transactions. Solving these problems requires computational power and energy, ensuring the security of the blockchain. The first miner to solve the puzzle receives rewards in the form of cryptocurrency units and transaction fees. Although PoW is effective, it is energy-intensive, leading to efforts to develop alternative and more energy-efficient consensus mechanisms like Proof-of-Stake (PoS).
