The first cryptocurrency was created by Satoshi Nakamoto a few years ago with bitcoin and after many were familiar with bitcoin, there were countless other altcoins, basically the creation of bitcoin or crypto only as a digital currency used for virtual transactions on the internet network with using secret codes that are quite useful to protect and maintain the security of the digital currency, but slowly over time, crypto has become an investment asset which is very profitable for all parties, even though it actually understates the basic use of crypto as a substitute conventional currency.
That's what happened today. The use of crypto is not well targeted when most have no use as a means of payment but as a trading asset. we cannot deny that is what is happening today. although some platforms also accept crypto as a means of payment I believe that is only a small part of the many cryptos circulating in the market today.
