Cryptocurrency is a digital currency and all its transactions are verified and maintained by a decentralised system, unlike a centralised authority. Many more people are investing in cryptocurrencies and it has been popular ever since it started years ago. Here is a brief history of the cryptocurrency, how it started and how it is going now…

How Did Cryptocurrency All Start?

Cryptocurrency started back in 2008 by a group or individual who used the name Satoshi Nakamoto, but we don’t know exactly who this is. People started using the currency in 2009 when it was released properly as an open-source software. Bitcoins were created for a reward for the process of mining and now the currency is becoming more and more popular.

Now there are new cryptocurrencies popping up, like Flokl Inu who are aiming to become one of the biggest cryptocurrencies in the world. They are all about empowering the people and have a new angle on the currency. Keep an eye on the up and coming currencies to start investing before others.  Some cryptocurrencies have charity at their core, FlokI for example has a vision to build a school in every continent to help the underdeveloped areas of the world.

Why Should I Start Using Cryptocurrency?

Most people can see the benefits of investing in cryptocurrency as it works long-term and is usually reliable. Some name it ‘digital gold’ and use a few different cryptocurrencies. Not only can it be used as an investment but also a means of exchange. Cryptocurrency is also beneficial for the global economy as it acts as an online exchange of money and increases protection from identity theft. However, you should still be aware of scammers out there and keep your wits about you when investing. To see most of the benefits of investing, you should start and it will all become more clear.

How Is Cryptocurrency Going Now?

More and more people are starting to use cryptocurrencies for investment purposes, it is becoming more mainstream and many know about it now. There are new cryptocurrencies popping up that are a good idea to invest in. Make sure you do your research before you put any money into your digital wallet as you don’t want to come across problems like identity theft. We predict the positive market momentum for cryptocurrencies will keep going up. Crypto may become regulated in the future and this might lead to a much safer market for investment, but of course you will still risk losing money but there will be more protection for investors. Outside manipulation will be less if this happens.

The Benefits of Investing Your Money into Cryptocurrencies

The benefits of investing in cryptocurrencies today are easy transactions, amazing security, the fees will likely be low and outsized returns. The industry is likely to grow this year but still isn’t regulated, so it’s the best time to invest. Keeping transactions private is always a bonus and focusing on portfolio diversification will likely be advantageous in the long run.

Why Is Diversifying Crypto Portfolios Becoming more Popular?

It is becoming more popular to diversify crypto portfolios because investing in one place is riskier than spreading your investments across a few different places. There is less risk of losing money in one place if you have various crypto projects, if one performs poorly you won’t have put all your money there. Make sure you have a strategy for your diversification if you plan to use this type of tactic when investing in crypto.

After a brief history of cryptocurrency, you can now confidently start using the currency of your choice if you are a beginner. If you have already been investing for a while and just wondered where cryptocurrencies started, we wish you good luck with your future investments too. It’s worth starting with a low amount of money until you get the hang of it, then when you feel more ready you can invest more money.
