Cryptocurrency trading

Cryptocurrency is one of the most revolutionary technologies of the early 21st century, with an origin story, history and explosion into the public consciousness that rivals many other inventions that came before it. In 2008, a research paper from an anonymous individual or group known as “Satoshi Nakamoto” was released. Nakamoto’s newly created computational data structure called “blockchain” was based on making sure no one party had central control over the system. As a result, it would allow for people around the world to transfer value without needing to trust each other, and without needing an authority to manage the system. This new type of virtual currency was named “cryptocurrency” by its creator, and in the same research paper that described blockchain technology, the design of the first cryptocurrency called “Bitcoin” was also explained. Although today there are more than 3,000 cryptocurrencies in use around the world, Bitcoin held more than 90% of the total value of all cryptocurrencies for many years and was one of only a small handful in existence. oday cryptocurrency has developed from being known about by only a limited number of enthusiasts to now breaking into mainstream finance and public awareness globally. Over time the number of people involved in cryptocurrency and the value of the market continues to increase exponentially.

Cryptocurrencies have consistently outperformed all other financial asset classes over their lifespans, which has largely fuelled the ongoing increase in the number of cryptocurrency traders and the amount of investment flooding into global crypto-asset markets.
