# History
TODO
As always, the concepts used to implement cryptocurrencies aren't very new, many date back to [80s](80s.md) and beyond, but what brought cryptocurrencies to practice and started the crypto age was [bitcoin](bitcoin.md), created at the beginning of 2009 by a guy who on the Internet calls himself Satoshi Nakamoto, but whose real identity is still not known. He wrote a paper about bitcoin and implemented it. Bitcoin became huge, many people who initially invested in it (including Nakamoto) became millionaires overnight, and many other cryptocurrencies came to existence to try to compete with and/or improve on bitcoin. This includes even semi humorous cryptocurrencies such as [Dogecoin](dogecoin.md), but mainly [Monero](monero.md), a crypto created around 2014 that improves on the "privacy" issues with bitcoin and which became quite popular.
