The digital currency Bitcoin was created as a secure cryptocurrency in 2008 and has evolved into a valuable digital exchange system. Bitcoins can be "mined" by anyone with a suitable computer - they can use their machine's computing power to process transactions and be rewarded with Bitcoins. These Bitcoins can be stored and secured with a private key in a digital currency Bitcoin wallet, which is used to store and trade Bitcoins. Not only can the digital currency be sold and traded securely online, but there are currently over 100,000 merchants around the world who accept Bitcoins as payment. The value of Bitcoin Due to the limited supply, there will only be 21 million Bitcoins in circulation - this makes Bitcoin have real value. At the time of writing, the price of one Bitcoin is approximately £440.51 or $575.88. The price of Bitcoin fluctuates from time to time, and it is different from any international economic system. Back in June this year, the price of Bitcoin reached a peak of $719.85 (£550.82), but since then the price has slowly fallen and has remained at around £450. Of course, the value of Bitcoin can only be transferred between merchants who know it, or through special exchange companies. While some large companies may accept Bitcoin, many may not. Technology companies hoping to embrace Bitcoin include social media platform Reddit and content platform WordPress. Global retail brands Subway, Kmart and Sears have all signed up to accept Bitcoin for purchases and sales. Risks and challenges of Bitcoin Will investing in Bitcoin be safe? Probably not. However, it is still worth taking a chance. There are no guarantees when investing in Bitcoin - it is an unregulated currency, which means it is difficult to be covered by insurance, and you may want to use Bitcoin but the country in which you live may not recognize it. However, investors who want to take a chance may be able to reap the rewards of investing in Bitcoin. The nature of Bitcoin means that its value will fluctuate frequently. The recent price of Bitcoin exceeded $700, which is a good time to sell Bitcoin shares. If Bitcoin becomes more popular, the value of the investment will increase significantly. Bitcoin on the rise One challenge users currently face is the time it takes to process payments. Technology experts think they can create Bitcoins and better record their transactions by processing blocks - pieces of data. However, users are concerned that this will make it difficult for individuals to mine Bitcoin using standard technology, and that Bitcoin will eventually flow to companies that can afford advanced technology. Bitcoin is only seven years old, but it still has a long way to go before it is widely accepted around the world. The development of apps and programs like 21 Bitcoin Computer has allowed developers to play around with mining technology and develop new methods to make the process more perfect. In the future, it may even happen that smaller-scale mining done through mobile devices coexists with large-scale corporate infrastructure mining. Researchers at VoucherBin found that 63% of shoppers were interested in using Bitcoin, but only 11% had tried it. It is still necessary to inform consumers about how Bitcoin works. |
