Bitcoin Mining & Security

Bitcoin peaked nearly a month ago, on December 17th, at around $20,000. As I write, the cryptocurrency is below $11,000… a loss of about 45%. This is more 150 billion dollars in lost market capitalization.

Cue much hand-wringing and gnashing of teeth in crypto-commentary. It’s neck and neck, but I think the “I told you so” crowd trumps the “excuse makers”.

Here’s the thing: unless you lose your shirt on bitcoin, it doesn’t matter. Most likely, the “experts” you see in the media are not telling you why.

Actually, it’s cool that bitcoin is crashing… because it means we can all stop thinking about cryptocurrencies altogether.

The death of Bitcoin…

In about a year, people won’t be talking about bitcoin in the grocery store or on the bus like they are now. Here’s why.

Bitcoin is a product of righteous frustration. Its designer has made it clear that cryptocurrency is a reaction to government abuse of fiat currencies such as the dollar or euro. It had to provide an independent, peer-to-peer payment system based on virtual currency, which would not be reduced because there was a limited number of them.

This dream has long been dismissed in favor of crude speculation. Ironically, most people care about bitcoin because it seems like an easy way to get more fiat currency! They don’t have it because they want to buy pizza or gas with it.

Besides being a terrible way to transact electronically—it’s excruciatingly slow—bitcoin’s success as a speculative play has made it useless as a currency. If it appreciates so quickly, why would anyone spend it? Who will accept it when it depreciates rapidly?

Bitcoin is also a major source of pollution. It takes 351 kilowatt-hours of electricity to process just one transaction – which releases 172 kilograms of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. That’s enough to power a US household for a year. The energy consumed by all bitcoin mining to date can power nearly 4 million US households for a year.

Paradoxically, the success of bitcoin as of old speculative game – not their intended libertarian uses – attracted government repression.

China, South Korea, Germany, Switzerland and France have implemented or are considering bans or restrictions on bitcoin trading. A number of intergovernmental organizations have called for joint action to curb the apparent bubble. The US Securities and Exchange Commission, which once looked set to approve bitcoin-based financial derivatives, now appears hesitant.

And according to Investing.com: “The European Union is imposing tougher rules on virtual currency platforms to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. It is also exploring restrictions on cryptocurrency trading.”

We may someday see a functional, widely accepted cryptocurrency, but it won’t be bitcoin.

… But Boost for Crypto Assets

Good. Going through Bitcoin allows us to see where the real value of crypto assets lies. Here’s how.

A token is required to use the New York subway system. You can’t use them to buy anything else… though can sell the subway to someone who wants to use it more than you.

In fact, if metro tokens were in limited supply, there could be a vibrant market for them. They may even trade at a much higher price than their original value. It all depends on how many people there are I want to use the subway.

This, in short, is the scenario for most promising “cryptocurrencies” other than bitcoin. They are not money, they are signs – “crypto-tokens” if you will. They are not used as common currency. They are only good on the platform they are designed for.

If these platforms provide valuable services, people will want those crypto-tokens and that will determine their price. In other words, crypto-tokens will have value to the extent that people value what you can get for them from their related platforms.

This will make them real assetswith intrinsic value – because it can be used to get something that people value. This means that you can reliably expect a stream of income or service from owning such crypto-tokens. Critically, you can measure future revenue streams against the price of a crypto-token, just as we do when we calculate a stock’s price/earnings (P/E) ratio.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, has no intrinsic value. It only has a price – a price determined by supply and demand. It can’t generate future income streams and you can’t measure anything like a P/E ratio for it.

One day it will be worthless because it doesn’t get you anything real.

Ether and Other Crypto Assets Are the Future

Crypto-token ether is sure it seems like currency. It is sold on cryptocurrency exchanges under the code ETH. Its symbol is the Greek capital letter Xi. It is mined in a similar (but less energy intensive) process to bitcoin.

But ether is not a currency. Its designers describe it as “the fuel to power the distributed application platform Ethereum. It’s a form of payment made by the platform’s clients to machines that perform requested operations.”

Ether tokens give you access to one of the world’s most sophisticated distributed computing networks. It’s so promising that major companies are falling over each other to develop practical, real-world uses for it.

The price of ether has bubbled and frothed like bitcoin in recent weeks because most of the people who trade it don’t really understand or care about its true purpose.

But eventually, ether will return to a fixed price based on the demand for computing services that people can “buy”. This price will represent real value may be evaluated in the future. There will be a futures market and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for that, because everyone will have a way to estimate its underlying value over time. Just like we do with stocks.

What will this value be? I do not have any idea. But I know it will be more than bitcoin.

My advice: Get rid of bitcoin and buy ether at the next dip.

So, what is Bitcoin?

It is not an actual coin, but a “cryptocurrency”, a form of digital payment produced (“mined”) by many people around the world. It enables instant peer-to-peer transactions worldwide for free or at very low cost.

Bitcoin was invented after decades of cryptographic research by software developer Satoshi Nakamoto (believed to be a pseudonym), who designed the algorithm and introduced it in 2009. His true identity remains a mystery.

This currency is not backed by a tangible commodity (such as gold or silver); bitcoins are traded online, making them a commodity in themselves.

Bitcoin is an open source product, available to anyone who is a user. All you need to get started is an email address, Internet access, and money.

Where does it come from?

Bitcoin is mined on a distributed computer network of users running special software; the network solves certain mathematical proofs and looks for a specific sequence of data (a “block”) that creates a specific pattern when the BTC algorithm is applied to it. A match produces a bitcoin. It is complicated and takes time and energy.

Only 21 million bitcoins will be mined (about 11 million are currently in circulation). Mathematical problems solved by networked computers make it increasingly difficult to control mining operations and supplies.

This network also authenticates all transactions through cryptography.

How does Bitcoin work?

Internet users transfer digital assets (bits) to each other on the network. No online banking; rather, Bitcoin is described as a distributed ledger on the Internet. Users buy Bitcoin with cash or by selling a product or service for Bitcoin. Bitcoin wallets store and use this digital currency. Users can sell their Bitcoins from this virtual ledger by trading them to someone else who wants them. Anyone can do it anywhere in the world.

There are smartphone apps for conducting mobile Bitcoin transactions and Bitcoin exchanges are flooding the internet.

How is Bitcoin valued?

Bitcoin is not held or controlled by a financial institution; completely decentralized. Unlike real world money, it cannot be devalued by governments or banks.

Instead, Bitcoin’s value lies simply in its acceptance as a form of payment among users and its limited supply. Its global currency values ​​fluctuate according to supply and demand and market speculation; as more people create wallets and hold and spend bitcoins, and more businesses accept it, the value of Bitcoin will rise. Banks are now trying to value Bitcoin, and some investment sites are predicting that Bitcoin will be worth several thousand dollars in 2014.

What are its benefits?

There are advantages for consumers and merchants who want to use this payment option.

1. Fast transactions – Bitcoin is transferred instantly over the internet.

2. No fees/low fees — Unlike credit cards, Bitcoin can be used for free or with very low fees. Without a centralized entity like a middle man, no permissions (and fees) are required. This improves the profit margin sales.

3. Eliminates the risk of fraud – Only the owner of the Bitcoin can send the payment to the intended recipient, who is the only person who can receive it. The network knows that the transfer has taken place and that transactions have been confirmed; they cannot be challenged or withdrawn. This is huge for online merchants or businesses who pay the high cost of credit card chargebacks, who are often subject to credit card processors’ assessments of whether a transaction is fraudulent.

4. Data is secure — As we’ve seen in recent attacks on national retailers’ payment processing systems, the Internet isn’t always a safe place for personal information. With Bitcoin, users don’t give up their personal information.

a. They have two keys – a public key that serves as a bitcoin address and a private key that contains private information.

b. Transactions are digitally “signed” by combining public and private keys; a mathematical function is applied and a certificate is generated proving that the user initiated the transaction. Digital signatures are unique for each transaction and cannot be reused.

c. The merchant/buyer never sees your private information (name, number, physical address), so it is somewhat anonymous, but traceable (down to the bitcoin address in the public key).

5. Convenient payment system — Merchants can use Bitcoin entirely as a payment system; Since Bitcoin can be converted into dollars, they do not have to hold any Bitcoin currency. Consumers or merchants can trade Bitcoin and other currencies at any time.

6. International payments – Bitcoin is used worldwide; E-commerce merchants and service providers can easily accept international payments, which opens up new potential markets for them.

7. Easy to Track — The network tracks and permanently records every transaction on the Bitcoin block chain (database). In the event of possible illegality, it is easier for law enforcement officers to track these transactions.

8. Micropayments are possible – Bitcoins can be divided into hundred millionths, making small payments of a dollar or less a free or nearly free transaction. This can be a real boon for convenience stores, coffee shops, and subscription-based websites (videos, publications).

Still a little confused? Below are some examples of operations:

Bitcoin in a retail environment

During checkout, the payer uses a smartphone app to scan a QR code that contains all the transaction information needed to transfer bitcoin to the retailer. Tapping the “Confirm” button completes the transaction. If a user doesn’t have any Bitcoins, the network converts the dollars in their account into digital currency.

The retailer could convert that Bitcoin into dollars if they wanted, there were no or very low processing fees (instead of 2-3 percent), no hackers could steal consumers’ personal information, and there was no risk of fraud. Very smooth.

Bitcoins in Hospitality

Hotels can accept Bitcoin for room and board payments for guests who want to pay with Bitcoin using their mobile wallets, or go from a computer to a website to pay for an online reservation. A third-party BTC merchant processor can help manage the transactions it clears over the Bitcoin network. These processing clients are installed on tablets at the front desk of businesses or restaurants for users with BTC smartphone apps. (These payment processors are also available for desktop computers, retail POS systems, and integrated into foodservice POS systems.) No credit cards or money need change hands.

These cashless transactions are fast and a processor can convert bitcoins into currency and make a daily direct deposit into the business’s bank account. In January 2014, it was announced that two Las Vegas hotel-casinos would accept Bitcoin payments at their front desk, restaurants and gift shop.

Sounds good – but what’s the catch?

Business owners must consider accessibility, security and pricing.

• Relatively few ordinary consumers and merchants currently use or understand Bitcoin. However, adoption is increasing globally and tools and technologies are being developed to facilitate participation.

• This is the Internet, so hackers are a threat to exchanges. The Economist reports that in September 2013, the Bitcoin exchange was hacked and $250,000 worth of bitcoins were stolen from users’ online wallets. Bitcoins can be stolen just like any other currency, so vigilant network, server and database security is paramount.

• Users should carefully protect their bitcoin wallets with their private keys. Safe backups or prints are very important.

• Bitcoin is not regulated or insured by the US government, so there is no insurance for your account if the exchange goes out of business or is robbed by hackers.

• Bitcoins are relatively expensive. Current prices and sales prices are available on online exchanges.

Virtual currency is not yet universal, but it is gaining market awareness and acceptance. A business may decide to try Bitcoin for customer convenience, to save on credit card and bank fees, or to see if it helps with sales and profitability.

Thinking of accepting Bitcoin? Are you already using it? Share your thoughts and experiences with us.

Well, it’s been a crazy 10 years for Bitcoin. It has actually been more than 10 years since Bitcoin was first created by Satoshi Nakamoto. Whoever it was, he or they, they had a great impact on the world. No doubt they predicted this, which is why they chose to disappear from the limelight.

So, more than a decade later, Bitcoin is still alive and stronger than ever. Thousands of other cryptocurrencies have arrived since trying to emulate the king of crypto. All have failed and will continue to fail. Bitcoin is one type. Something that cannot be repeated. If you don’t know why, let me explain.

If you don’t know what Bitcoin is, I’ll give you some quick basics:

• Bitcoin is an Online Cryptocurrency

• Maximum Supply is 21 Million

• It cannot be faked

• Not all coins are in circulation yet

• It is completely decentralized with no one in control

• It cannot be censored

• This is Peer to Peer Money

• Anyone Can Use

• Bitcoin has a fixed supply that decreases every 4 years

What makes Bitcoin different?

So what makes Bitcoin different from the thousands of other coins that have been invented since then?

When Bitcoin was first invented, it started to spread slowly among a small group of people. It grew organically. As people began to see the benefits of Bitcoin and how the price would increase due to its stable supply, it began to grow faster.

The Bitcoin blockchain is currently spread over hundreds of thousands of computers around the world. It is beyond the control of any government. Its creator has disappeared and now it works autonomously.

Developers can improve and improve the Bitcoin network, but this should be my consensus on the entire Bitcoin network. No one person can control Bitcoin. This is what makes Bitcoin unique and impossible to replicate.

There are thousands of other cryptocurrencies currently available, but I will use Ethereum as an example of what makes Bitcoin different. It is currently one of the biggest Altcoins and has been since its invention in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin.

Vitalik controls the Ethereum blockchain and basically has the final say on any development that happens on Ethereum.

Censorship and Government Intervention

For this example, imagine Iran sending billions of dollars to North Korea to fund its new nuclear weapons program. This is not a good situation, but it should show you how much safer your money is in Bitcoin!

Anyway…first example. Iran uses the standard banking system and transfers this money to North Korea in US dollars. The US government says wait a minute, we need to freeze these transactions and confiscate the money.. Easy. They do it immediately and the problem goes away.

Second example. The same thing happens again, but this time Iran uses the Ethereum blockchain to send money to North Korea. The US government sees what’s going on. A phone call is made.

“Buy Vitalik Butter here now”

The US government is “putting some pressure” on Vitalik, who are forcing him to return the blockchain and decommission Iran’s operations. (The Ethereum blockchain was reversed before the hacker stole a significant amount of funds).

Problem solved. Unfortunately, Ethereum’s credibility will perish along with its price.

Ethereum is just an example, but this is true for all other cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin cannot be stopped

So the same thing happens again. This time, Iran uses Bitcoin as a payment method. The US government sees this and is powerless to stop it.

There is no one to call. There is no one to pressure. Bitcoin is beyond censorship.

Every other cryptocurrency out there is created by someone or some company and that will always be a point of failure. They are still centralized.

Another example would be if the Vitalik family was held hostage.. Bitcoin is beyond any of these and therefore the safest investment on the planet.

Learn how to use Bitcoin

Everyone should own some Bitcoin. Although not dangerous. If you are new to Bitcoin, you should learn as much as you can before investing. Owning Bitcoin comes with a lot of responsibility. Learn how to use Bitcoin safely.

Bitcoin is the world’s main cryptocurrency. It is a peer-to-peer currency and transaction system based on a decentralized consensus-based public ledger called blockchain that records all transactions.

Now bitcoin was envisioned by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008, but it was the product of many decades of research into cryptography and blockchain and was not just the work of one guy. Having a borderless, decentralized currency based on blockchain was a utopian dream of cryptographers and free trade advocates. With the growing popularity of bitcoin and other altcoins worldwide, their dream is now a reality.

Now, the cryptocurrency was first placed on a consensus-based blockchain in 2009 and first traded in the same year. In July 2010, the price of bitcoin was only 8 cents, and the number of miners and nodes was very small compared to the tens of thousands today.

Within a year, the new alternative currency rose to $1 and became an interesting prospect for the future. Mining was relatively easy and people made good money trading and even paid with it in some cases.

Within six months, the currency doubled again to $2. Although the price of Bitcoin is not stable at a certain price point, it has been showing this crazy growth pattern for some time. At one point in July 2011, the coin plunged to a record $31 price point, but the market soon realized it was overvalued compared to the gains made on the ground and corrected it back to $2.

There was a healthy rise to $13 in December 2012, but the price would soon explode. In the four months to April 2013, the price rose to $266. It later recovered to $100, but this astronomical price increase was the first time it rose to stardom and people started arguing about the real-world scenario with Bitcoin.

Around that time I was introduced to a new currency. I had my doubts, but the more I read about it, the more it became clear that currency is the future because there is no one to manipulate it or impose themselves on it. Everything had to be done with complete consensus and that was what made it so powerful and liberating.

Thus, 2013 was a breakthrough year for the currency. Large companies have begun to openly favor the adoption of bitcoin, and blockchain has become a popular topic for Computer Science programs. At the time, many people thought that bitcoin had served its purpose and would settle down now.

However, as the currency became more popular, bitcoin ATMs were established around the world, and other competitors began to flex their muscles in various corners of the market. Ethereum developed the first programmable blockchain, and Litecoin and Ripple started as cheaper and faster alternatives to bitcoin.

The magical $1,000 mark was first breached in January 2017 and has already quadrupled since then until September. This is a truly remarkable achievement for a coin that was only worth 8 cents just seven years ago.

Bitcoin even survived the hard fork on August 1, 2017, and has risen nearly 70% since then, even as the fork bitcoin cash managed to have some success. It’s all about the coin’s appeal and the stellar blockchain technology behind it.

Although conventional economists claim that this is a bubble and that the entire crypto world will collapse, it is not. There is no such thing as a bubble because it is an observable fact that fiat currencies and money transactions corporations are actually eating into stocks.

The future is extremely bright for bitcoin, and it’s never too late to invest in it, both for the short-term and the long-term.

I heard about bitcoin a few years ago in 2013 and never expected it to become the powerful cryptocurrency it is today. At the time of writing this article, it is trading at a higher price than gold in the market. This has opened a window of opportunity for me as I am now in the market to collect this digital currency and gold bullion on a daily basis.

With my experience, I gained knowledge and developed techniques to build a wheel of wealth to use this cryptocurrency and use its power to get gold continuously.

The following points are the methods I use to accumulate bitcoins and gold bars.

• Find a company that sells gold bullion

• Open an online bitcoin wallet

• Start mining bitcoin online or offline

• Buy gold bullion with bitcoin

The above are the basic steps to perform the process and specific techniques are required to make it successful. In my opinion, this is the best bitcoin strategy to collect gold and have it delivered to your doorstep every month.

Find a company that sells gold bullion

There are many online companies that sell gold bullion online, but very few offer incentive programs after becoming their customer. You need to look for a company that offers more than just selling gold bars. This company should offer quality products like selling gold bars in small sizes of 1 gram, 2.5 gram and 5 gram. The gold itself should be 24 karat gold, which is the highest quality you can get. Incentive programs should allow you to earn a commission after referring people to the company.

Open an online bitcoin wallet

Once you’re ready to start trading in the cryptocurrency market, you’ll need a place to store your bitcoin. Many online bitcoin wallets are available to the public for free. Look for a company that offers a wallet to store your bitcoin and an offline vault to protect it. There are many hackers who try to hack the wallet of online users and steal all their bitcoins. If you keep your bitcoin offline, you will never fall prey to online hackers.

Start mining bitcoin online or offline

There are two main ways to get Bitcoin. Mine bitcoin online or offline. Mining bitcoins online is very easy and simpler than offline methods. I personally use both methods to test the profitability of each. Joining an online bitcoin mining farm would be a great way to get started.

You should also be very careful with this option, because there are thousands of scammers who claim to be a bitcoin farm, but in fact they are not. These guys are creating Ponzi schemes and will only steal from you as much as they can. There are also reliable and real companies with daily functioning bitcoin farms that I personally use.

You can also mine bitcoin offline by buying a bitcoin miner, which is a piece of computer hardware you install at home. This hardware then connects to the Internet and will start mining bitcoins. This bitcoin will then be automatically sent to your online bitcoin wallet.

Buy gold bullion with bitcoin

Now that bitcoin is entering every day, there are very specific ways to follow to buy gold bullion from the company of your choice. You must link your bitcoin wallet to your visa card. This card should also be offered to you from your chosen bitcoin wallet company. Use this card to buy gold bars anytime you have enough bitcoins in your online wallet.

The above are the very basic steps I used to make this process successful and since I started doing it I have never looked back.

Big question about how to get bitcoins.

Once you have a basic understanding of what Bitcoin is and how a wallet actually works, you may want to dive into the world of digital currency and get yourself some Bitcoin. So, the big question comes to your mind: How can I get bitcoins?

To be difficult.

After learning about the origin of each bitcoin based on the mining process, you will believe that the best way to get them is to join this mining process. The thing is, this has become very difficult because the popularity of cryptocurrency is increasing rapidly.

Sell ​​products or services.

Each bitcoin comes as a result of a previous transaction. So the way to get them when you don’t have them is to get a transaction from someone else when you buy with cash or by mining new bitcoins.

When you know someone who uses bitcoins, you can ask them to buy bitcoins. If you don’t know anyone who has them, you can get bitcoins by suggesting another type of transaction with another bitcoin user, resulting in you being paid in bitcoins. An alternative option is to remove them yourself.

Mining.

If you can’t buy bitcoins from someone else, you can get them by mining them. Here the term mining means: solving a complex mathematical problem with the aim of validating the transactions of other people. In return, you are rewarded with bitcoins. Receiving bitcoins is sometimes free, but sending them may involve a fee, depending on the online platform you use. Before you start mining bitcoins, you should understand that it is not an easy way to get bitcoins, it requires some technological knowledge, which may not be practical for you.

buy

If you don’t know anyone who owns bitcoins, if you don’t have anything to sell to exchange for bitcoins, there is a way to buy bitcoins. There are several online platforms that sell bitcoins through a process called trading/exchange. Here are some ways you can get bitcoins:

Buy bitcoins from a person.

There are online markets where you can buy bitcoins in a person-to-person scheme. You can pay these people in cash or in other ways. A good idea is that you and the seller can arrange a payment method: cash in person, cash on deposit, bank transfer, PayPal, etc. The key element here is to find someone you trust. A good tip is to use an online deposit service, this way you can protect yourself from any kind of fraud. The good thing about this online savings platform is that everyone has to upload a scanned ID card, which guarantees security during transactions.

Buy bitcoins from an exchange and point of sale.

Bitcoin exchanges or outlets are basically online services that make it easy for buyers and sellers to transact bitcoins. To be a part of one of these, all you need to do is create an account and verify your identity before buying or selling bitcoins.

Buy bitcoins through an ATM.

Some cities around the world offer physical bitcoin ATMs. You simply get your bitcoins using your local fiat currency. Governments regulate the use of these ATMs for security purposes. Sometimes it can be difficult to find a bitcoin ATM near your location because even where they are installed is regulated.

Difference between Bitcoin and Central Bank Currencies

What is the difference between a central bank authorized currency and Bitcoin? A bearer of a central bank proxy currency may offer it only for the exchange of goods and services. The owner of Bitcoins cannot tender it because it is a virtual currency that is not authorized by a central bank. However, Bitcoin holders can transfer Bitcoin to another Bitcoin member’s account to exchange goods and services and even central bank authorized currencies.

Inflation will lower the real value of bank currency. Short-term changes in the supply and demand for bank currency in money markets affect the cost of borrowing. However, the face value remains unchanged. In the case of Bitcoin, its face value and real value vary. We recently witnessed the Bitcoin split. It’s like a stock split. Companies sometimes split a share into two or five or ten parts, depending on the market value. This will increase the volume of transactions. Therefore, while the intrinsic value of the currency decreases over a period of time, the intrinsic value of Bitcoin increases as the demand for the coins increases. Consequently, accumulating bitcoins automatically allows one to earn. In addition, the first holders of bitcoins will have a huge advantage over other bitcoin holders who enter the market later. In this sense, Bitcoin behaves like an asset whose value goes up and down as evidenced by its price volatility.

When the original producers, including miners, sell Bitcoin to the public, the money supply in the market decreases. However, this money does not go to central banks. Instead, it goes to a few individuals who can act as central banks. In fact, companies are allowed to raise capital from the market. However, they are regulated transactions. This means that as the total value of bitcoins increases, the Bitcoin system will have the power to intervene in the monetary policy of central banks.

Bitcoin is highly speculative

How do you buy Bitcoin? Of course, someone has to sell it, sell it at a value determined by the Bitcoin market and probably by the sellers themselves. If there are more buyers than sellers, then the price goes up. This means that Bitcoin acts as a virtual commodity. You can collect and sell them later for profit. What if the price of Bitcoin goes down? Of course, you will lose money just like you lose money in the stock market. There is another way to get Bitcoin through mining. Bitcoin mining is a means of verifying transactions and adding them to a public ledger known as the black chain, as well as issuing new bitcoins.

How Liquid Is Bitcoin? It depends on the volume of transactions. The liquidity of a stock in the stock market depends on the value of the company, free circulation, supply and demand, etc. depends on factors such as In the case of Bitcoin, free float appears and demand are the factors that determine its price. The high volatility of Bitcoin price is due to less free float and more demand. The value of a virtual company depends on the experience of their members with Bitcoin transactions. We can get some useful feedback from its members.

What could be the big problem with this operating system? No member can sell Bitcoin. This means that you must first acquire something valuable that you own by auctioning or mining Bitcoin. A large portion of these valuables eventually goes to the person who is the original seller of the Bitcoin. Of course, some amount as profit will go to other members who are not the original producer of Bitcoins. Some members will also lose their valuables. As the demand for Bitcoin increases, the original seller can produce more Bitcoins, as done by central banks. As the price of Bitcoin increases in their markets, genuine producers can slowly release their bitcoins into the system and make huge profits.

Bitcoin is an unregulated private virtual financial instrument

Bitcoin is a virtual financial instrument, although it does not qualify to be a full-fledged currency and does not have legal sanctity. If Bitcoin owners set up a special tribunal to resolve their problems arising from Bitcoin transactions, then they may not worry about legal sanctity. Hence, it is a private virtual financial instrument for an exceptional group of people. People with bitcoins will be able to buy large quantities of goods and services in the public domain, which could destabilize the normal market. This will be a problem for regulators. Inaction by regulators could create another financial crisis, as it did during the financial crisis of 2007-08. As always, we cannot judge the tip of the iceberg. We cannot predict the damage it can cause. Only at the last stage, when we can do nothing but emergency exit to survive the crisis, we see everything. This is what we’ve been living with since we started experimenting with things we wanted to control. In some we have succeeded, and in many we have failed, although not without sacrifices and losses. Should we wait until we see everything?

Bitcoins are the newest form of digital currency used by many traders and investors. Any exchange market can trade bitcoins but it is a risky move as you can lose your hard earned money. Be very careful before proceeding.

About Bitcoin:

Although Bitcoin is digital, it is the same as currency. You can save it, invest it and spend it. Cryptocurrency once circulated in the market and gave birth to Bitcoin. It was started in 2009 by an anonymous person named Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin gained popularity during this year as the exchange rate rose from $2 to $266. This happened in February and April. A process known as mining is said to create Bitcoins using powerful computer algorithms called blocks. Once a block is decrypted, you earn about 50 bitcoins. Usually, a problem takes a long time to resolve, perhaps a year or more. If you can’t do that, there is another means to get these Bitcoins; that is, you just buy them.

How Bitcoin Works:

When you buy Bitcoin, you exchange your physical money and receive digital currency in the form of Bitcoin. It’s very simple, if you want to exchange currency, you have to pay to get that currency. The same is the case with Bitcoins. You pay the current exchange rate of Bitcoin. Let’s say it’s $200, so you pay $200 and get one Bitcoin. It is basically a kind of commodity. Most of the exchanges operating in the market earn a large amount of income by transferring the currency to the market. By giving these bitcoins, they get US dollars and get rich instantly. But the thing is, because it seems easy to make money by converting Bitcoins to Dollars, these exchanges also lose money very easily.

Become a player in the market:

There are several ways to become a player in the Bitcoin market. The simplest way is to buy a dedicated computer and install some Bitcoins mining software and start decrypting blocks. This process is said to be the easiest way, but it is slow.

If you want to make money faster, then you need to create a team. You need to organize a Bitcoin pool of four to five members. Then you can create a mining pool and encrypt blocks much faster than an individual can. You will be decrypting multiple blocks at once.

The fastest way to earn money with Bitcoins is to go directly to the markets. Go for a reputable and reliable Bitcoins exchange operating in the market. First you need to register yourself. Register and create an account and then you have to answer the confirmations accordingly. This will keep you informed about all the working stocks of Bitcoins. You can trade bitcoins on any online trading platform. Some companies have even started accepting payments in bitcoins.
