Cryptocurrencies are not issued by a government or single authority, but instead are generated by a computer protocol and rely on an electronic peer-to-peer network. Their value comes from the mutual agreement of their users and their limited supply. The first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, emerged in 2009 and has received the most attention from the media. Many other cryptocurrencies have been established since.
