What is Cryptocurrency?

Crypto is a form of digital currency that operates without the need for banks or governments. First introduced as Bitcoin (BTC) in 2008 by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin runs on a decentralized network and was launched as open-source software in 2009. Since then, the project has been forked and thousands of alternate Cryptocurrencies have been created and released, some using the same algorithm as Bitcoin, and others on completely different algorithms and networks.
