<p>A cryptocurrency (or crypto currency) is a digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange
that uses strong cryptography to secure financial transactions, control the creation of additional units,
and verify the transfer of assets. Cryptocurrencies use decentralized control as opposed to centralized digital currency
and central banking systems.</p>
<p>The decentralized control of each cryptocurrency works through distributed ledger technology, typically a blockchain, that serves as a public financial transaction database </p>
<p><a href="Coins/Bitcoin.html">Bitcoin</a>, first released as open-source software in 2009, is generally considered the first decentralized cryptocurrency.Since the release of bitcoin,
over 6,000 altcoins (alternative variants of bitcoin, or other cryptocurrencies) have been created.</p>

<!-- Content of history -->
<div class="col-lg-6">
<p>In 1983, the American cryptographer David Chaum conceived an anonymous cryptographic electronic money called ecash.
Later, in 1995, he implemented it through Digicash, an early form of cryptographic electronic payments which
required user software in order to withdraw notes from a bank and designate specific encrypted keys before it can be sent to a recipient.
This allowed the digital currency to be untraceable by the issuing bank, the government, or any third party.</p>
<p>The first decentralized cryptocurrency, <a href="Coins/Bitcoin.html">Bitcoin</a>, was created in 2009 by pseudonymous developer Satoshi Nakamoto. It used SHA-256,
a cryptographic hash function, as its proof-of-work scheme. In April 2011, Namecoin was created as an attempt at forming a decentralized DNS,
which would make internet censorship very difficult. Soon after, in October 2011,
<a href="Coins/Litecoin.html">Litecoin</a> was released. It was the first successful cryptocurrency to use scrypt as its hash function instead of SHA-256.</p>
