Cryptocurrency was created to give people a new way to use money without banks or middlemen. In 2008, an unknown person or group named Satoshi Nakamoto introduced the idea of Bitcoin through a digital whitepaper.
In 2009, Bitcoin became the first decentralized digital currency. It used blockchain technology, which records transactions securely and transparently across a global network of computers.
The main goal of crypto was to provide fast, borderless, and low-cost transactions. Over time, new cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Litecoin, and many others were launched, bringing smart contracts and decentralized applications.
Today, cryptocurrency has grown into a global financial system shaping the future of digital money.$BTC
