Crypto Currency

Crypto currency is a digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange wherein individual coin ownership records are stored in a digital ledger or blockchain using strong cryptography to secure transaction record entries, and to verify the transfer of coin ownership.
Cryptocurrencies typically use a decentralized system based upon math, as opposed to central bank-like systems.

Dark Web

The dark web is the Internet content that exists on darknets or overlay networks that use the Internet but require specific software, configurations, or authorization to access. The dark web forms a small part of the deep web. The deep web is the part of the Internet which is not indexed by search engines (like Google). Sometimes the term deep web is mistakenly used to refer specifically to the dark web.

The various darknets which constitute the dark web include small, friend-to-friend or peer-to-peer networks, as well as the larger / more popular networks such as Tor, Freenet, I2P, and IPFS which are operated by both organizations and individuals.
