Digital currencies were introduced to the world as early as the 1990s. The first digital currency was Bitcoin in 2009, with its own symbol and rate. Later, more and more types of cryptocurrencies were added by different agents, proving this flourishing market is here to stay. Late in 2016 their market share grew, alongside increased volatility and natural public interest. Little we knew it was only the beginning of an outburst of growth to these digital currencies, with a spike in 2017. During the first months of this impressive year, Bitcoin has more than doubled in value, Ethereum grew by 1,400% and many other currencies showed similar trends. March 2017 broke another glass ceiling for digital currencies, in which for the first time ever a cryptocurrency surpassed Gold in value.! t.me/steemitdotcomCapture.JPG
