What is Crypto?

Well, simply put crypto is used to represent Cryptography which is a term that is associated with security or the art of securing information, but ordinarily, it simply means the art of hiding something with codes (Just like we have boxes that come with code combinations as the lock, where all you needed to do to secure the contents of the box was to select a combination of numbers and then close it and until that same number is selected again no one will be able to open the box) Now that is the easiest way I can think of to explain what cryptography means.

Now it's from this concept that the idea of CryptoCurrency was born.
