1 00:00:00,430 --> 00:00:05,350 Hey, guys, welcome back and this lecture, we are going to discuss about their advantages as well 2 00:00:05,350 --> 00:00:07,570 as the disadvantages of cryptocurrency. 3 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:09,130 So let's get started. 4 00:00:09,670 --> 00:00:11,260 Advantages of cryptocurrency. 5 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:11,860 Let's see. 6 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:19,000 Cryptocurrency hold the promise of making it easier to transfer funds between two parties without the 7 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,930 need of a trusted third party, like a bank or a credit card company. 8 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:30,160 Yes, the transaction process of cryptocurrency is pretty easy and convenient as a transfer is conducted 9 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,660 through blocks in technology. 10 00:00:32,830 --> 00:00:38,470 There is no need of a third party organization like bank or government for the transfer of these virtual 11 00:00:38,470 --> 00:00:43,900 guarantees for transferring cryptocurrency is only the public key of a person is required. 12 00:00:44,110 --> 00:00:44,620 That's it. 13 00:00:45,790 --> 00:00:52,420 This town's father and stage secured by the use of public and private keys and different form of interactive 14 00:00:52,420 --> 00:00:55,110 systems like proof of work or proof of stake. 15 00:00:55,180 --> 00:00:59,660 OK, here in this course, we have not discussed our public and private lives. 16 00:00:59,980 --> 00:01:01,900 We are going to discuss them in this lecture. 17 00:01:02,710 --> 00:01:07,840 But in short, we can say that public keys and private keys help encryption alphabet convert. 18 00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:14,080 The private key can be considered as the pin of a bank account and the public can be considered as account 19 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:14,430 number. 20 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:22,480 Thus, as public and private deeds also play a key role in the encryption of a Bitcoin wallet and proof 21 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:28,240 of what is an algorithm in the blocks in technology, which is used to confirm the transaction and form 22 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,680 new blocks to the chain. 23 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:37,330 Fund transfers are completed with minimal processing fees, allowing users to avoid the steep fees charged 24 00:01:37,330 --> 00:01:41,500 by banks and financial institutions for wire transfers. 25 00:01:41,710 --> 00:01:47,380 Well, as compared to the transfers fees taken by the banks or any other organizations, the transfer 26 00:01:47,380 --> 00:01:49,860 fee of the coins are very low indeed. 27 00:01:50,770 --> 00:01:54,610 So the transfer of bitcoins is really fast, secure and cheap. 28 00:01:54,910 --> 00:02:01,870 But that is one disadvantage against a drawback of Bitcoin transfers that they can be traced once U.S. 29 00:02:01,870 --> 00:02:03,670 or Bitcoin, no particular publicly. 30 00:02:03,940 --> 00:02:08,410 You cannot recover their bitcoin like we can do in the case of bank transfers. 31 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,590 Let's move towards the disadvantages of bitcoins. 32 00:02:12,660 --> 00:02:18,930 The semi-autonomous nature of cryptocurrency is transactions make them well suited for a host of illegal 33 00:02:18,930 --> 00:02:21,630 activities such as money laundering and tax evasion. 34 00:02:22,290 --> 00:02:26,240 Well, the All Dark Web works on this drawback as well. 35 00:02:26,250 --> 00:02:32,460 The payment methods of illegal activities and in the form of bitcoins makes them perfect for scams like 36 00:02:32,460 --> 00:02:34,200 money laundering or tax evasion. 37 00:02:34,590 --> 00:02:40,860 On the other hand, the scammers are totally secure as after payment they cannot be tracked, but in 38 00:02:40,860 --> 00:02:43,290 the form of tracking the bitcoins are quite weak. 39 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,360 Some governments have praised the bitcoins and several illegal vendors are caught. 40 00:02:47,850 --> 00:02:56,010 It is more secure and transaction friendly as compact bitcoins, benefits of privacy like protection 41 00:02:56,220 --> 00:02:59,900 for whistleblowers or activities living under the oppression of government at. 42 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,360 Some cryptocurrency are more private than others. 43 00:03:04,690 --> 00:03:09,510 Yeah, as we discussed earlier, the crypto currencies provide more protection to people doing illegal 44 00:03:09,510 --> 00:03:11,990 stuff like whistleblower, for example. 45 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:19,110 Those people are responsible for leaking several secret and confiscated data in a company that most 46 00:03:19,110 --> 00:03:21,580 probably they are working to. 47 00:03:21,630 --> 00:03:26,200 A competitor company was for a sum of money, which is usually paid in cryptocurrency. 48 00:03:26,910 --> 00:03:32,280 So this is one of the major disadvantages of cryptocurrency as they protect the people implementing 49 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:32,990 illegal stuff. 50 00:03:34,450 --> 00:03:41,230 Begging the privacy aspect and the consideration, Bitcoin, for instance, is a relatively poor choice 51 00:03:41,230 --> 00:03:46,870 for conducting illegal business online, as we discussed earlier, the forensic analysis of Bitcoin 52 00:03:47,290 --> 00:03:52,710 Bitcoin doctrine has helped authorities to arrest and prosecute criminals. 53 00:03:53,380 --> 00:03:55,600 More privacy oriented coins do exist. 54 00:03:55,630 --> 00:04:02,170 However, such as Ethereum dash one zero or their cash, which are far more difficult to trace. 55 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,860 But still a majority of illegal transactions are still implemented. 56 00:04:06,130 --> 00:04:12,100 And the form of bitcoins that about the advantages and disadvantages of crypto currencies. 57 00:04:12,610 --> 00:04:18,100 Let's now get some details about the private key private keys and public keys in the case of crypto 58 00:04:18,100 --> 00:04:18,640 currencies. 59 00:04:18,970 --> 00:04:21,670 So what are private keys and what are Republicans? 60 00:04:21,970 --> 00:04:23,530 Let's understand that. 61 00:04:23,530 --> 00:04:24,820 What is a private key? 62 00:04:25,810 --> 00:04:32,200 Apriority, also known as a secret key, is a variable in cryptocurrency that is used with an algorithm 63 00:04:32,350 --> 00:04:34,180 to encrypt and decrypt code. 64 00:04:34,930 --> 00:04:41,700 See, cryptocurrency are nothing but blocks of code which are protected by several encryption codes. 65 00:04:41,710 --> 00:04:42,070 Right. 66 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,890 So secret keeps keys are only shared with the Keys generator, making it highly secure. 67 00:04:48,490 --> 00:04:51,470 Private Keys plays an important role in sematic. 68 00:04:51,670 --> 00:04:55,600 Cryptography is cryptography and crypto guarantees. 69 00:04:56,230 --> 00:05:01,900 We can compare the private key with the PIN numbers of a bank account, which is meant to kept private, 70 00:05:02,290 --> 00:05:04,970 but which is not to be shared with anyone. 71 00:05:05,530 --> 00:05:10,720 Also, unlike Benn's and account numbers and bank, the private keys and public keys are also responsible 72 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:16,690 to encrypt and decrypt the transactions which are being shared or received publicly. 73 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:22,420 Public key cryptography is a type of cryptography and which both the public and private keys are used 74 00:05:22,420 --> 00:05:26,170 for encrypting as well as for transfer of crypto currencies. 75 00:05:26,770 --> 00:05:32,110 The private key is meant to be kept private, whereas the public can be shared, which is further used 76 00:05:32,110 --> 00:05:34,960 as an address for transaction of cryptocurrency. 77 00:05:35,420 --> 00:05:43,000 So that's it for this lecture we discuss about the advantages as well as the disadvantages of cryptocurrency. 78 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,360 Plus, we also discussed about the private keys and public keys. 79 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:52,660 In the next lecture, we'll be going to a Bitcoin wallet and see the available crypto currencies will 80 00:05:52,660 --> 00:05:55,870 also discuss about Bitcoin trading and Bitcoin mining. 81 00:05:56,380 --> 00:05:57,550 See you in the next lecture. 82 00:05:57,850 --> 00:05:58,690 Thank you very much.
