IT IS THE VERY FIRST FORM OF A GROWING CATEGORY OF MONEY CALLED CRYPTOCURRENCY, CREATED IN 2009. THE INVENTOR OF BITCOIN IS ANONYMOUS, BUT HE GOES AS SATOSHI NAKAMOTO, WHICH IS NOT HIS REAL NAME. BITCOINS ARE STORED IN A PERSONAL ONLINE WALLET THAT CANNOT BE FROZEN BY ANYONE. BITCOIN, WHAT IS IT?
• BITCOIN : 1 BTC = 1622 $CAD • LITECOIN : 1 LTC = 5.16 $CAD • ETHEREUM : 1 ETH = 32.05 $CAD OTHER CRYPTO CURRENCIES AND VALUE PER COIN
