“Unraveling the Evolution of Cryptocurrency: From the Origins to Modern-Day Impact”

 The Idea Behind Crypto


Digital currency – crypto currency, has become very popular. Crypto is derived from the notion of free exchange among peers and decentralization. Therefore, these transactions are not subjected to any control or regulation by a central authority or the financial institutions.


The Birth of Cryptocurrency


It was Satoshi Nakamoto, a pseudonym person, who has to be thanked for creating the first digital currency known as bitcoin and introduced it to the world in 2009. The bitcoin software was released as an open source that allowed everyone to be able to transact and utilise the network.


The Rise of Other Cryptocurrencies


Several other cryptocurrencies were introduced to the market after the success of bitcoin. Notable ones among them include Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple. These cryptocurrencies possessed different attributes among them included fast transactions, smart contracts, and decentralized programs.


The First Contract Minted


The first smart contract transaction carried out within the framework of the Ethereum blockchain is called “the Genesis block.” The first one started the world’s first smart contract ever recorded in history.


The emergence of other blockchain networks.


Due to this high demand, a number of blockchain networks started to develop. While bitcoin and Ethereum are the two most prominent and famous blockchain networks, various others such as Hyperledger Fabric, Algorand, and EOS also enjoy considerable attention. The various blockchain networks provide characteristic functionalities suitable for diverse use-cases.

Other blockchain networks.


With increased demands for blockchain technology, different blockchain networks cropped up. Although bitcoin and Ethereum still stand as the majorly popular and recognized blockchain networks, other platforms have gained a significant status, for instance, hyperledger fabric, algorand or eos. However, each blockchain network has special characteristics that make it suitable for specific sectors of application.


The First NFT Created


Digital artwork “quantum” was the first NFT in history, created by kevin mccoy in 2014. Since its inception, this innovative technology has experienced tremendous growth among artists, musicians and other creative professionals who can now tokenize, as well as monetize their digital creations.


The Most Expensive NFT Created


At Christie’s auction house in 2021, digital art work by digital artist Beeple fetched $ 69.3 million. The sale set a record for such sales and made it clear on how high are these digital assets on the marketplace.


One of the most expensive NFTs from fortune to near nothing.


It has happened many times when the most costly NFTs dropped substantially in value, for instance. At one point, one Crypto Punk #3100 went for as much as $7.5 million however is later dropped down to $2 million. This shows how unstable such market as for NFT is a speculation.


An expensive nft was bought for a very low price and made billions.


Although some NFTs which were initially sold at high prices lost their value over time, they have also had cases when small pieces became extremely valuable. For instance “CryptoPunk #7523,” originally costing about $2,200, and now selling close to $7.5 million). This underscores the uncertainty regarding the NFT market, with the possible huge returns involved.



The Introduction of Multiverse


The advent of the multiverse theory brings fresh air into the crypto universe. In simple terms, it talks about a web of virtual realms running on the blockchain that bring real-world experience coupled with possession options of digital assets and the concept of decentralized economy.


It is worth mentioning that the notion of crypto currency came up in 2009, when Bitcoin was launched. Ever since, many other cryptocurrencies have risen, and the concept of web 3 is gaining clarity. First, a contract was minted in the Ethereum’s blockchain, leading to the creation of other blockchain networks. It developed its first NFT, creating history, and became infamous when it sold the most expensive NFT ever recorded. Nevertheless, it has happened that the best-paid NFTS, which now are worthless, and the most affordable NFTS, gaining incredible heights, respectively. The advent of the multiverse has widened avenues for crypto innovation.
