Money is going digital, like everything else! Cryptocurrency is a digital currency used as an investment or to purchase goods and services. Cryptocurrency has been gaining momentum through the last year, and you might want in future to include cryptocurrency on your Drupal website. Cryptocurrency, also known as crypto, is a decentralized digital or virtual currency designed to work as a medium of exchange and can be circulated without a central monetary authority like banks or the government. Cryptocurrency is secured and verified by cryptography, making it nearly impossible to counterfeit or double-spend. Cryptocurrency is built on blockchain technology, a distributed ledger enforced by a distributed network of computers. One of the most important features of cryptocurrencies is that they are different from fiat currencies like the Dollar or the Pound. They are not generally issued by any central authority, making them potentially immune to government intervention or manipulation. In Drupal, the Crypto Widget module lets you showcase the cryptocurrency prices through a block on your web page. The Crypto widget uses the Coinbase API to get the prices for the interval that is configured in the configuration form. No other module is needed other Drupal core.
