Virtual currency (also referred to as virtual money) is an unregulated digital currency, controlled by its developers. This currency is used by a virtual community. One of the most popular digital currencies is Bitcoin, which was introduced in 2008, primarily to address the trust issue that was faced due to the 2008 financial crisis. Bitcoin is based on blockchain, a decentralized distributed ledger technology and is also referred to as cryptocurrency. Blockchain creates an immutable ledger, which functions on consensus protocol, thereby sharing the record with all the concerned stakeholders and is not governed by a regulator. Additionally, blockchain technology provided a unique method of storing data that was resistant to modification.
