Bitcoin paved the way as the first cryptocurrency by creating the world’s first decentralized peer-to-peer cash
transfer platform.
The decade since Bitcoin has been released has seen much innovation. A common theme among blockchain developers
is the idea that blockchains don’t have to be limited to transferring money, but can rather transfer data to
create decentralized applications.
Platforms like Ethereum create a completely new network of decentralized financial services. We are seeing
traditional financial services now being offered by individuals instead of banks, all while incorporating
cryptocurrency into their decentralized financial ecosystem.

- How traditional financial applications are being decentralized
