Join the founders of CoinGecko for a 360 degree overview of the various cyptocurrencies in the market, background of bitcoin, motivation behind its creation, the mechanism behind it using blockchain, how its success has inspired the creation of other cryptocurrencies and other use cases of blockchain. [Sample cryptocurencies:
- Aurora - Created by Icelanders for Icelanders, given free to all Icelanders as an alternative to bitcoin and the króna. Still being studied by regulators.
- Litecoin - Fast transaction times compared to Bitcoin; optimized for P2P payments, evens playing field for amateur CPU miners (vs industralized GPUs).
- Dash - Instant & private transactions (vs bitcoin); comes with coded self-governing, self-funding infrastructure; most active altcoin community.
- Dogecoin - Started as a joke, designed to be inflationary i.e. decreases in value overtime like fiat currency (vs deflationary bitcoin). top image
- Lisk - Uses sidechains instead of a single blockchain for speed and scalability, partners with Microsoft for integration into Azure Blockchain.
- Iota - Need for speed: uses directed acyclic graph (vs blockhain) and ternary computers (vs binary computers).
