Bitcoin is the mother of cryptocurrencies. It has been on the market since 2009 and has its origins in the financial crisis of 2007. At this time, the desire for an independent, decentralized monetary system increased.

Bitcoin was born - the solution if you ask me.

Many other cryptocurrencies have since emerged, such as Ethereum, as a Bitcoin alternative. Ethereum was launched in July 2015 and grew quickly and the main advantages are the smart contracts and the variety of token integration into the blockchain.
