Could you please elaborate on the functioning of virtual coins in simple terms? As a non-expert in this field, I'm curious to understand the basics of how they operate. Specifically, I'd like to know about the underlying technology, how transactions are processed, and how the value of these coins is determined. Is it similar to traditional currencies, or does it have a unique mechanism? Also, are there any risks associated with investing in virtual coins, and how can one ensure the safety of their investments? Thank you for your assistance in demystifying this concept for me.

Since virtual currencies have no intrinsic value, their prices are primarily driven by speculation.
