The bitcoin system was created in 2009 by an enigmatic person named Satoshi Nakamoto In fact, no one is sure if Satoshi Nakamoto is an actual person or a group of people Bitcoins are designed to serve as an alternative to national currencies, such as dollars and euros They can be used to pay for things online instead of cash or credit cards When bitcoins are transferred from a buyer to a seller, the transaction is recorded in a public database

Throughout the nineteenth century and into the twentieth, citizens of the United States maintained a bias against big cities Most lived on farms and in small towns and believed cities to be centers of corruption, crime, poverty, and moral degradation Their distrust was caused, in part, by a national ideology that proclaimed farming the greatest occupation and rural living superior to urban living This attitude prevailed even as the number of urban dwellers increased and cities became an essential feature of the national landscape Gradually, economic reality overcame ideology Thousands abandoned the precarious life on the farm for more secure and better paying jobs in the city But when these people migrated from the countryside, they carried their fears and suspicion with them These new urbanities, already convinced that cities were overwhelmed with great problems, eagerly embraced the progressive reforms that promised to bring order out of the chaos of the city
(5)governments responded by regulating the utility companies, but a number of cities began to supply these services themselves Proponents of these reforms argued that public ownership and regulation would insure widespread access to these utilities and guarantee a fair price
While some reforms focused on government and public behavior, others looked at the cities as a whole Civic leaders, convinced that physical environment influenced human behavior, argued that cities should develop master plans to guide their future growth and development City planning was nothing new, but the rapid industrialization and urban growth of the late nineteenth century took place without any consideration for order Urban renewal in the twentieth century followed several courses Some cities introduced plans to completely rebuild the city core Most other cities contented themselves with zoning plans for regulating future growth Certain parts of town were restricted to residential use, while others were set aside for industrial or commercial development
