In 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto released “Bitcoin: A Peer to Peer Electronic Cash System”. This whitepaper introduced the world to the concept of both bitcoin and blockchain technology. In 2009, bitcoin became a reality. Because of its transparency and decentralized nature, the records created and stored by a blockchain earned the digital community’s trust.
Today Bitcoin allows users to connect to a decentralized network for the purpose of sending or receiving cryptocurrencies.
