Is Phone Crypto the Future?
Since the creation of Bitcoin 12 years ago, the world has revolutionized the way that we view cryptocurrencies. Initially starting out as a worthless currency, the current value of a single bitcoin hovers around fifty thousand dollars. Investors continue to try to stake their claims in bitcoin in hopes that it will continue to soar higher and higher. Following along with bitcoin, several other cryptocurrencies have risen to fame, notably Ethereum, Dogecoin, and Tether. Every week, new cryptocurrencies are formed, as techies race to create the next big currency. It’s no wonder after all, Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin is rumored to have over $34B USD worth of bitcoin stashed away.

Bitcoin Origins, Operations, Happenings, Objectives and Offerings (uh, BOOHOO for short?)
Who? The first thing that should be covered is, “Who came up with Bitcoin?” followed by, “Who actually gives a darn about Bitcoin?” The answer to the first question is complicated, but in short involves the name Satoshi Nakamoto. Anyone wanting to honor the founder(s) of Bitcoin should know that name, and it matters because nobody really knows for sure who Satoshi Nakamoto really is. The name is universally considered a pseudonym (meaning it is very likely not the real name of whoever came up with Bitcoin.) Maybe the real Satoshi Nakamoto is the guy who was supposedly handed over the keys to Bitcoin shortly before Satoshi Nakamoto was never heard from again (Popper, 2016).

My Mom Invented Bitcoin
My mom invented Bitcoin. It’s crazy, I know. She just woke up one morning and decided to create a decentralized digital currency. Some people are born with the urge to disrupt the financial system, and my mom is one of those people. I remember being a very young child and hearing her say things like: “Fractional-reserve banking is inherently unstable, darling” And: “All I want is an encrypted peer-to-peer electronic cash system that relies on no middle man and exists in the public record. Is that too much to ask?” I would reply: “Are you coming to my dance competition?”
