Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency invented in 2008. No company runs it, no bank issues it — it lives on a global network of computers.
Ethereum is a programmable blockchain — a global computer that runs smart contracts. It powers most of DeFi, NFTs, and DAOs.
Stablecoins are crypto tokens designed to hold a steady price — usually pegged to $1. They're the dollars of crypto.
Staking is locking up your crypto to help secure a network — and earning rewards in return. It's the crypto equivalent of earning interest, but the mechanics are different.
DeFi means decentralized finance — banking, trading, and lending built on smart contracts instead of banks. Open, global, 24/7, and risky.
