Origins of Bitcoin
The massive economic crisis of 2008/2009 had large scale effects all over the world, and in many different economic sectors (though it still doesn’t come close to 2020). But out of this time came the creation of not only the first Cryptocurrency, but also the first blockchain platform for trading it. First gaining exposure in January 2009 at $0 a coin; Bitcoin would go on to gain not only a worldwide following but much more value. As of January 21, 2021, Bitcoin is the most valued crypto currencies with one single “coin” costing around around $36,000. The big question surrounding Bitcoin however, aside from where the price is going, is who really created it? As far as the public knows the whole thing was thought up by a man or group called “Satoshi Nakamoto” and released January 3, 2009. But that’s quite literally, all anyone knows.
