Lets talk about a simple yet important currency valuation perspective; cryptocurrency or fiat.
This valuation approach starts with the interpretation of an essential concept that has been put conveniently within the definition of the word cryptocurrency-a subtle definition that has been lost on many investors, sadly.
Looking at the word cryptocurrency more closely, we see that it is a compound word-that is, two smaller words combined to create a new word with its own meaning:
CRYPTO: a word cryptography abbreviation; the art of writing or solving ciphers and codes;
CURRENCY: something used as a means of exchange; money.
Cryptocurrency is generally defined as a compound word as a digital currency that uses encryption as a mechanism for validating and verifying transactions.

In the modern world, money is the main means of exchange, having long since replaced bartering as a means of exchanging goods and services.
