What is Cryptocurrency?

Cryptocurrency is a type of digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography for security and operates independently of a central authority, like a government or financial institution. It is built upon blockchain technology, which is a decentralized and distributed ledger that records all transactions across a network of computers.

Some popular cryptocurrencies:

Bitcoin (BTC)
Ethereum (ETH)
Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
Litecoin (LTC)
Cardano (ADA)
Ripple (XRP)

Features of Cryptocurrency

What you need to know

Decentralization
Cryptocurrencies are typically decentralized, meaning they are not controlled by any single entity. Instead, they rely on a distributed network of computers (nodes) to validate and record transactions.
Cryptography
Cryptocurrencies use cryptographic techniques to secure transactions and control the creation of new units. This ensures the integrity and security of the transactions and helps prevent fraud.
Blockchain
Transactions made with cryptocurrencies are recorded on a blockchain, which is a chronological and immutable digital ledger. This ledger is maintained by the network of nodes, and once a transaction is added, it cannot be easily altered.
Limited Supply
Many cryptocurrencies have a limited supply. For example, the most well-known cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, has a maximum supply of 21 million coins. This scarcity can contribute to the perceived value of the cryptocurrency.
Anonymity and Privacy
While transactions on the blockchain are transparent and can be traced, the identities of the parties involved in the transactions are usually pseudonymous. This means that transactions can be tracked but not necessarily linked to real-world identities.
Global Accessibility
Cryptocurrencies can be accessed and used by anyone with an internet connection, regardless of geographical location. This global accessibility has made cryptocurrencies appealing for cross-border transactions.

First Crypto Coin Timelines

Bitcoin (BTC), the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, has a unique timeline of its own.

31st October, 2008
1. Whitepaper Release
Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, published the Bitcoin whitepaper titled "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System". This whitepaper outlined the technical framework and the concept of a decentralized digital currency.
3rd January, 2009
2. Genesis Block
Nakamoto mined the first block of the Bitcoin blockchain, known as the "genesis block" or "block 0". This marked the official beginning of the Bitcoin network.
Undated
3. Mining and Early Development
In the early days, Bitcoin mining was relatively simple, and early adopters could mine on their personal computers. Nakamoto was actively involved in the development and refinement of the Bitcoin software.
22nd May, 2010
4. First Bitcoin Transaction
A programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz famously made the first real-world transaction using Bitcoin. He paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas. This event is often celebrated as "Bitcoin Pizza Day".
Undated
5. Growing Adoption and Challenges
Over the next few years, Bitcoin gained traction among tech enthusiasts and gained attention from media and the wider public. It faced challenges such as scalability issues and security concerns.
2011
6. Exchanges and Price Rally
In 2011, Bitcoin began trading on exchanges, providing a way for people to buy and sell the cryptocurrency. The price of Bitcoin experienced significant fluctuations, including a notable rally in late 2013.

As Bitcoin's popularity grew, it caught the attention of regulators and governments worldwide, leading to discussions and debates about its legal and regulatory status.
2012, 2016, and 2020
8. Bitcoin Halvings
Bitcoin has a built-in mechanism called "halving" that occurs approximately every four years. During a halving event, the block reward that miners receive is cut in half. These events, in 2012, 2016, and 2020, have a significant impact on the supply and potentially the price of Bitcoin.
2017
9. Institutional Interest
Starting around 2017, Bitcoin gained attention from institutional investors and financial institutions. This led to increased interest, investment, and the development of financial products tied to Bitcoin's price.
April 2021
10. All-Time High Price
Bitcoin's price surged to an all-time high of nearly $65,000 USD in April 2021, driven by increased institutional adoption and mainstream recognition.
Undated
11. Ongoing Development
The development of the Bitcoin protocol is ongoing, with contributions from a decentralized community of developers. Improvements and updates, such as the implementation of the Lightning Network for faster and cheaper transactions, continue to be worked on.
