BUY BITCOIN
Altcoins are the next best thing after bitcoin. They come in all shapes and sizes, and they are usually designed for a specific use. Development of altcoins can be attributed to the success of bitcoin and the open source technology that powers the bitcoin network.
The concept of crowdfunding has been around for a long time even before the term itself was coined. Crowdfunding involves raising money from a large number of people. One of the best examples of crowdfunding during the pre-internet days is the construction of the Statue of Liberty. Funds required to build the huge statue was met by a large number of donors. Since then, the methods of fund collection from the masses has changed, it has gone online and it’s now being called “Crowdfunding”.
