Ecommerce are commercial transactions conducted electronically on the internet, it is the buying and selling of goods and services using the internet and the transfer of data and money to execute the transactions.

Cryptocurrency is a digital currency in which encryption techniques are used to regulate the generation of units of currency and verify the transfer of funds, operating independently of a central bank. It is also a digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange that uses strong cryptography to secure financial transactions, control the creation of additional units and verify the transfer of assets.
