Key terms
- BondA fixed-income investment where an investor loans money to an entity (government or corporation) that borrows the funds for a defined period at a fixed interest rate.
- Capital GainsThe profit realized from selling an asset for more than its purchase price. Capital gains can be short-term (held less than a year) or long-term (held more than a year), with different tax implications.
- Capital LossA loss incurred when selling an asset for less than its purchase price. Capital losses can offset capital gains to reduce tax liability.
- Proof of WorkA consensus mechanism that requires miners to solve computationally intensive mathematical puzzles to validate transactions and add new blocks to the blockchain. It was the first consensus method used in blockchain technology and remains the mechanism behind Bitcoin. While highly secure, Proof of Work is criticized for its significant energy consumption and environmental impact.
