Cryptography Science
Cryptography without mincing adjectives is the art of deciphering and writing of codes.Cryptocurrency is formed through a process known as mining, which entails employing computer processing power to solve complex mathematical problems to earn coins. So cryptocurrency in itself is a science and is cryptography in that it uses codes.
Crypto as indicated earlier is derived from the term kryptos which simply means hidden. They are hidden because they use codes. These codes are to be deciphered thus the use of cryptography.
In Love With The Science And Not The Scientist.
Actually in the world of today we happen to have great inventors of our time. It bereaves me when I see people enjoying the science but do not even know the scientist.
Little is known about Charles Babbage yet we enjoy computers. Electricity is our day to day Activity yet little is known about Benjamin Franklin.
There are many other inventors like Isaac Newton and gravitational pull and many others. Little is known about them. No wonder Satoshi Nakoto, the inventor of Bitcoin, used a pseudonym and he is really sought after.

An Uphill Task
Creation is not something which comes by chance. One needs to have discipline, self denial, patience and passion to move on. I hail these inventors.
