Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum are a new class of internet-based currency, believed by many to be the next generation of money.
Launched in 2009, Bitcoin was the first crypto created – built to provide the world with an electronic peer-to-peer cash system that can operate on it’s own without the need for a bank, state, or central organisation.
Following Bitcoin’s rise and success there are now over 22,000 different cryptocurrencies today, all racing to use the latest tech to revolutionise finance and lay the foundations for the internet economy of the future.
