Cryptocurrency is simply a digital or virtual currency. It is the direct opposite of fiat currency or paper money.
Digital or cryptocurrencies are used for online transactions and payments. Bitcoin, Onecoin, Litecoin,are a just few examples of cryptocurrencies while Pounds, Naira,Dollar,Euro, etc are examples of fiat currencies or paper money.
Among all these money, Bitcoin is the one with the highest value and indeed, the most acceptable in the global arena.
The History of Bitcoin started in 2009 when a Japanese man named, Satoshi Nakamoto incensed by his perceived anomalies and exploitation, invented the pioneer cryptocurrency called bitcoin.
In other to get the people to accept the Bitcoin and use them, they had to invest in mining the digital currency.
This was achieved by inviting people in the mining of the coins.
But central banks and commercial banks fearing that it would succeed in creating an alternative currency, which could threaten their relevance and their existence, they initiated sponsoring of reviews &; articles that is against the Bitcoin and its founder.
Hence the unscrupulous journalists and bloggers were willing tools that were used in dissuading people from investing in the pyramid schemes. This scared away a lot would-be investors.
However, there were those who took the risk and invested in Bitcoin in 2009, at a starting price of 10 cents.
By the year 2013, the price of bitcoin had moved from 10 cents per coin to $200 per coin, thereby creating phenomenal fortune for all the early miners.
Nobody lost their investment, rather all become millionaires and multimillionaires depending on the amount they invested.
