    Cryptocurrency was first introduced in 2009 with the launch of Bitcoin by an anonymous person or group of people using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. It was introduced as a decentralized digital currency that operates on a technology called blockchain. The blockchain technology ensures transparency, security, and immutability of transactions. Bitcoin's introduction marked the beginning of a new era in the financial world, where individuals could transact directly without the need for intermediaries like banks. Since then, numerous other cryptocurrencies have been introduced, each with its own unique features and purposes.

    The introduction of cryptocurrency can be traced back to the publication of the Bitcoin whitepaper in October 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto. The whitepaper outlined the concept of a peer-to-peer electronic cash system that would eliminate the need for intermediaries and provide a secure and transparent method of transferring value. In January 2009, the first block of the Bitcoin blockchain, known as the genesis block, was mined, marking the official launch of Bitcoin and the birth of cryptocurrency.
