🧠 Curiosity about Cryptocurrencies
🔗 How did Blockchain technology come about?
Blockchain was proposed in 2008 by a developer (or group) under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, as the foundation of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin. The central idea was to create a decentralized and immutable system, where transactions could be recorded without the need for trusted intermediaries, such as banks. Each block in the chain contains a set of verified transactions, linked by cryptography — making it virtually impossible to alter the data without the consensus of the network.
