In this section, you will learn about the origins and motivations of Bitcoin, and

the
key distinctions between cryptocurrencies and normal currencies.
We’ll clear up some common misconception about Bitcoin and Blockchain, and also
explain
briefly Bitcoin’s origins in the Cypherpunk movement.
We’ll then draw a comparison between Bitcoin and Banks and analyze each of the
features
and services they provide.
And this all sets the stage for the next section, in which we’ll build Bitcoin from
the ground
up, incorporating each of these features and services and seeing how they fit
together.
