Description

It was over one decade ago that the first cryptocurrency Bitcoin was invented. Since then, many things have changed, new cryptocurrencies were invented and eventually they became part of the products and services offered by large organizations. Large multinational corporations such as Goldman Sachs, Fidor Bank, Banco Masventas, Microsoft, AT&T, and Overstock, among others, have already integrated cryptocurrency-related products and services in their portfolios - and this is only just the beginning.
