This document provides an introduction to blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. It discusses the origins of blockchain in Satoshi Nakamoto's 2008 whitepaper proposing Bitcoin as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. It then outlines some key aspects of blockchain including how it uses cryptography and proof-of-work to form an immutable record stored across a distributed network without a central authority. The document also briefly reviews topics like cryptocurrency mining, smart contracts, initial coin offerings (ICOs), and the current state and opportunities of blockchain applications.

A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System 9 Page whitepaper | October 2008 A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution. Digital signatures provide part of the solution, but the main benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double-spending. The network timestamps transactions by hashing them into an ongoing chain of hash-based proof-of-work, forming a record that cannot be changed without redoing the proof-of-work. Satoshi Nakamoto
