The first crypto-currency to capture the public imagination was Bitcoin, which was launched in 2009 by an individual or group known under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. As of 2nd half of 2018, the total market value of Bitcoin is over $100 billion. Bitcoin’s success has spawned several competing crypto-currencies named Altcoins (Alternative currencies), such as Ethereum, Ripple, Dash and many more.

These fund transfers are done with minimal processing fees, allowing users to avoid the steep fees charged by most banks and other financial intermediaries or wire transfers.
