The first and the most valuable amongst cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin, is a virtual/digital currency that uses cryptographic technology to regulate and issuance of currency units. Developed by Satoshi Nakamoto, who first felt the need for an e-payment system based not on trust but cryptographic proof, one can buy, sell or trade BTC directly without an intermediary like a bank of FI.
The genesis for the creation of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum lies in the fact that is it possible to create systems that allow a group of people to cooperate without centralized actors like a government, financial institution, or a trusted actor playing the role of an intermediary, said Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum in a live YouTube show hosted by New York congressional candidate Jonathan Herzog along with activist Glen Weyl recently.
Buterin underlined the need for legitimacy of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, considering that the current generation was facing a crisis of legitimacy concerning both corporations and many types of governments. Buterin’s software project relates to the current economic and political crisis and seeks to bring about reforms.
