Since the dawn of cryptocurrencies, our view of money has changed. Only computer scientists could imagine the digital money that would need no intermediary to be controlled. In 2009, Bitcoin was born, and it resulted in the birth of many other cryptocurrencies that are now a big part of the global economy. Before the Bitcoin, there were many other attempts to create a cryptocurrency. All of them failed. The reason for the failure was the double spending problem. Bitcoin is a truly sensational currency because it solves the double spending problem with the concept of mining and the blockchain.
