Bitcoin has no true mission statement, as it is not actively owned or managed by any central figure. As a cryptocurrency, it is believed by many to have been created in order to challenge and innovate the world's financial system.

As the world's largest programmable blockchain, Ethereum has served as a global leader driving force in the world of blockchain and cryptocurrency.

Litecoin strives to provide a peer-to-peer internet currency that enables instant, low-cost payments around the world.

While Dogecoin was originally created as a joke, it has long since left the realm of levity and has become a major contender in the cryptocurrency landscape thanks in large part to celebrity endorsements.
