There's important differences between true cryptocurrencies and what are generally called "centralized digital currencies" (CDCs). One of the main qualities — if not the central feature — of cryptocurrencies is that they're decentralized. This means no single person, government, company, or group can control them. CDCs, on the other hand, are on the opposite end of the spectrum. 2, record 1, English, - centralized%20digital%20currency
