Blockchain and cryptocurrency are closely related concepts because this technology underlies most currencies, allowing them to function and be a decentralized, secure, transparent, and anonymous means of payment available to work anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world has noticed cryptocurrencies with the advent of Bitcoin, whose Whitelist (project description) was presented on October 31, 2008. At the same time, Satoshi Nakamoto presented a technology that, although it existed before him, was unknown and unfinished. Since this period, blockchain and cryptocurrency have become almost synonymous with many technology fans. However, not all currencies work on this technology, just as blockchain is used not only in cryptocurrency projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The history of digital currencies began long before the appearance of Bitcoin. Still, they did not become famous for a simple reason: there were problems with reliability, transaction speed, and ease of use.

Hash algorithms (for example, SHA-256) ensure data immutability since any edits lead to a change in the hash. P2P networks allow the distribution of data, deprive the system of a controlling authority, making all participants equal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, digital money without advanced technology could not be:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
