In 2008 Satoshi Nakamoto published a whitepaper titled Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System in response to the financial crisis. This text was the birth of a new paradigm, the blockchain. Based on Nakamoto's vision, people worldwide have created a new infrastructure that can be used for the transfer of assets, information and much more. Since then, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and applications like Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have become known. But the precise connections of these abstract terms are understood only by the initiated; Franzreb sets out to shed visual light on this hidden world.
