Introduction
The need to get rid of centralized financial systems and bureaucracy and reduce fraud and forgery in commercial transactions and others was the reason behind the appearance of the basic idea of Blockchain technology. Blockchain has been around since the 1990s. In 1991, Blockchain was originally described by a group of researchers. The application of this technology was originally intended to timestamp digital documents so that it is not possible to backdate them or to tamper with them, like a digital notary [1]. In 2008 a study was published under the title Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System, under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, in which Blockchain‘s technology was applied to electronic currency, and then in 2009 the Bitcoin cryptocurrency blockchain network was created [2]. Bitcoin supersedes fiat currency in multiple dimensions because it can be transferred internationally without any limits, transactions have either no fees or a very low fee, currently, it does not need any personal information, is transparent as every user has a copy of the public ledger, and secure as the underlying cryptographic algorithm provides security [3].
