Although cryptocurrencies have been around since 2009, when the famously elusive developer Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin, they have grown significantly in both breadth and diversity in the course of a little over a decade.
What was once just #trending “street talk” in the tech scene, is now quickly becoming a prominent transactional currency in 2022—with 96% of financial service experts believing that blockchain has achieved mainstream adoption.
