Cryptocurrency

On October 31, 2008, a white paper written by Satoshi Nakamoto was published on the Cryptography mailing list. The 9-page document entitled: “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System” describes a system that uses computer cryptography for financial transactions. The name, Satoshi Nakamoto, was later found to be a pseudonym representing a person or group of persons that remain anonymous to this day.
