Introduction to Blockchain and Cryptocurrency and Its Application
Ever since Bitcoin, the first ever peer-to-peer, decentralized digital currency was created and released by the anonymous Satoshi Nakamoto in January 2009, it has brought to the public's attention at a global scale. In just a span of a decade, its market cap has grown into a whopping 1.175 trillion USD, pioneering and leading the entire cryptocurrency industry that is currently worth up to 2.745 trillion USD as of November 2021. Apart from its dominant value and influence in the financial and cryptocurrency industry, Bitcoin is better known for its revolutionary blockchain technology. Other than being a mere digital payment protocol, the blockchain industry has evolved into providing various utility purposes and deriving numerous decentralized applications (Dapps) with smart contracts ranging from decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to gamified finance (GameFi) and social finance (SocialFi) in the present timeline.
