Bitcoin was born in 2009 on the heels of geo-economic crisis. Lower trust in the existing financial system spurred the adoption of new, open standards for transferring value around the world and coordinating time and talent, bringing into practice development and opportunities that had previously existed only in theory. Satoshi’s initial innovation enabled peer-to-peer transactions over the internet without counterparty intervention, but the potential for increased global efficiency, inclusion, and prosperity are only beginning to be realized.
One business that is fuelling the growth of blockchain technology is the aptly named: Blockchain.com, trusted by millions since 2011 with over $1 trillion in crypto transactions and a standard bearer for the future of the open internet.
