As criptomoedas são, de forma sucinta, uma nova forma de moeda. A Bitcoin, criada em 2009 por Satoshi Nakamoto, é a maior criptomoeda e a reponsável por trazer ao mundo a tecnologia do blockchain. As chamadas moedas digitais são peerto-peer e não dependem de um emissor central para validar e conferir as transações. Todo o software é de código aberto e seu funcionamento segue leis matemáticas. O presente trabalho tem caráter exploratório e pretende explanar o funcionamento básicos das criptomoedas, além de tentar encaixá-las dentro do conceito clássico e do conceito austríaco da moeda

Cryptocurrencies are, in a succint way, a new form of currency. The Bitcoin, wich was created in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto, is the biggest cryptocurrency and the responsible for a new technology called blockchain. The digital currencies are peer-to-peer and don't need a central node in the transaction map to endorse and authenticate the transactions. The software is open-source and it works following mathematical principles. This paper is merely exploratory, explain only the basics about the cryptocurrency and also try to analyze if them can be called as currency using the 'classical' definition or if the austrian definition fits better
