Iota – which stands for Internet of Things Application – is a new cryptocurrency, similar to Bitcoin. But it is different in certain key ways.
Bitcoins aren’t printed, like pounds, dollars or euros – they’re produced by people, and increasingly businesses, running computers all around the world.
You can buy Iota by using something called a crypto exchange – the same as if you were buying other cryptocurrencies. The main difference with Iota is that it is not available to buy directly with traditional cash – you can only trade it for another cryptocurrency.
