In this age of digitalization, the mode of trade exchange has also shifted to cryptocurrency. Like every other currency, and well more than the most physical forms, this digital currency while being secure for the most part, can be exploited in huge amounts as well.

Many apps offer different modes of mining cryptocurrency, however, now, Google is banning these apps available freely on the Google play store. Apple has already taken this initiative.
