Cryptocurrency History | How it all Started | CRYPTO Pathshala with Hitesh Malviya | Oneindia News
The idea for cryptocurrency first began in the late 1980s, the idea was for a currency that could be sent untraceable and in a manner that did not require centralized entities like banks.
In 1995, American cryptographer David Chaum implemented an anonymous cryptographic electronic money called Digicash.
It was an early form of cryptographic electronic payments which required user software to withdraw from a bank and required specific encrypted keys before they could be sent to a recipient.
Bit Gold, often called a direct precursor to Bitcoin, was designed in 1998 by Nick Szabo.
It required a participant to dedicate computer power to solving cryptographic puzzles, and those who solved the puzzle received the reward.

Bitcoin Rallies, on Hopes of Renewed Interest , Among Mainstream Investors.
On March 4, the price of Bitcoin broke $65,000,
bringing it closer to returning to an all-time
high reached in November 2021.
NBC reports that the latest rally has been driven
by hopes that the launch of bitcoin exchange-
traded funds will expand bitcoin's pool of buyers. .
In 2024, the cryptocurrency has
gained over 48%, rapidly approaching its
record intra-day all-time high of over $68,000.
In January, Bitcoin ETFs were first approved by
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). .
The SEC said the approval of the ETFs were meant
to make it easier for investors to gain exposure to
Bitcoin without having to actually own the digital coins.
NBC reports that the world of crypto is also banking
on a potential rally following a technical event
known as "halving" scheduled to occur in April.
This event will see the rate of supply for new bitcoin
to decline, which could cause the value of the
cryptocurrency to increase if demand remains unchanged.
Some mainstream investment experts have
still urged caution when it comes to investing
in the controversial cryptocurrency.
With equities, you own a share
of a company that produces goods
or services, and many also pay
dividends. With bonds, you get
a stream of interest payments, Vanguard statement, via NBC.
Commodities are real assets that meet
consumption needs, have inflation-
hedging properties, and can play
a role in certain portfolios, Vanguard statement, via NBC.
While crypto has been classified
as a commodity, itβs an immature
asset class that has little history,
no inherent economic value,
no cash flow, and can create
havoc within a portfolio, Vanguard statement, via NBC
