<p>Bitcoin is a form of digital cash that eliminates the need for central authorities such as banks or governments, and uses a peer-to-peer internet to confirm purchases directly between users. Bitcoin was launched in 2009 by a mysterious
developer known as Satoshi Nakamoto, and was the first and most valuable participant in the emerging asset class known as cryptocurrency. If you are interested in what is bitcoin and how to earn it, or how to profit from bitcoin and
cryptocurrencies, then read this article.</p>
<h2><span style="color:#d35400"><strong>What is Bitcoin and how does it work?</strong></span></h2>
<p>Each bitcoin is a file stored in a digital wallet on a computer or smartphone. To understand how this digital currency works, it is necessary to understand some important terms and have a general context for them:</p>
<ul>
<li> Blockchain: Bitcoin is powered by an open source code known as a blockchain, which creates a common public record of transactions organized into “blocks” that are “linked” together to prevent manipulation.</li>
<li> Private and Public Keys: A bitcoin wallet contains a public key and a private key, which work together to allow the owner to initiate and digitally sign transactions. These keys unlock the central function of Bitcoin, i.e.
securely transferring ownership from one user to another.</li>
<li> Bitcoin mining: Users on the Bitcoin network verify transactions through a process known as mining, which is designed to ensure that new transactions are compatible with other transactions completed in the past.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can find more terms and phrases that will help you better understand the world of cryptocurrency investing in our Crypto Terms article.</p>
<h2><span style="color:#d35400"><strong>How to earn bitcoin</strong></span></h2>
<p>New bitcoins are generated as part of the bitcoin mining process, offered as a lucrative reward for people who operate computer systems that help validate transactions.</p>
<p>Bitcoin miners are the owners of high-speed computers that independently confirm each transaction, adding an entire “block” of transactions to the ever-growing “chain” that has a permanent record of each Bitcoin transaction.</p>
<p>Miners are paid bitcoins for their efforts, which incentivizes the decentralized network to independently verify each transaction. This independent network of miners also reduces the chance of fraud or misinformation, as the majority of
miners need to verify the authenticity of each block of data before adding it to the blockchain, in a process known as “Proof of Work.” ”</p>
<h2><span style="color:#d35400"><strong>How to start mining bitcoin</strong></span></h2>
<p>As the popularity and value of Bitcoin has grown, so has the competition for the rewards offered by mining. Most miners now use specialized computers designed just for this purpose, which use an enormous amount of energy. The high cost of
these devices may be a barrier to entry.</p>
<p>There are some small operators who choose to join mining pools where they pool their computing power in an effort to compete for rewards. But on the whole, Bitcoin mining is a very difficult and expensive proposition for the
uninitiated.[1]What Is Bitcoin?, nerdwallet. Accessed 04-20-2020.</p>
<h2><span style="color:#d35400"><strong>Can Bitcoin be converted into cash?</strong></span></h2>
<p>Like many other assets, Bitcoin can be bought and sold with fiat currencies such as the US dollar. The price will depend on the current market value, which can fluctuate significantly from day to day.</p>
<p>If you are looking to buy or sell bitcoin, the simplest approach for most beginners is a cryptocurrency exchange that you can do with an online brokerage, or on any cryptocurrency platform. Here are some other options for buying and selling
bitcoin:</p>
<ol>
<li> Peer-to-peer transactions: Someone might pay you bitcoin for a product or service, or accept bitcoin as payment instead of cash.</li>
<li> Bitcoin ATMs: There are more than 32,000 Bitcoin ATMs in the United States.</li>
</ol>
<h2><span style="color:#d35400"><strong>Is Bitcoin a good investment?</strong></span></h2>
<p>Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general are a volatile asset class. The general rule is that you should allocate only a small portion of the portfolio to risky investments such as Bitcoin or individual stocks. Whether or not bitcoin is a good
investment depends on your individual circumstances, but here are some bitcoin pros and cons to consider.</p>
<h2><span style="color:#d35400"><strong>Bitcoin Pros</strong></span></h2>
<ul>
<li> PRIVATE AND SECURE TRANSACTIONS AT ANY TIME WITH LOW FEE: Once you own bitcoins, you can transfer them anytime and anywhere, reducing the time and potential cost of any transaction. Transactions do not contain personal
information such as your name or credit card number, eliminating the risk of your information being stolen.</li>
<li> Significant growth potential: Some investors who buy the currency are betting that once Bitcoin matures, it will gain more trust and more widespread use, and therefore its value will increase.</li>
<li> Decentralization: After the financial crisis and the Great Recession, some investors are eager to adopt an alternative decentralized currency that is essentially outside the control of normal banks, governing authorities or
any other third parties.</li>
</ul>
<h2><span style="color:#d35400"><strong>Bitcoin Cons</strong></span></h2>
<ul>
<li> Price volatility: While the value of Bitcoin has risen dramatically over the years, the fortunes of buyers have varied widely depending on the timing of their investment. Those who bought in 2017 when the bitcoin price was
racing towards $20,000 for example, had to wait until December 2020 to recoup their losses. Although 2021 was a strong period for bitcoin, it has since fallen dramatically from its all-time highs.</li>
<li> Hacking Concerns: While backers say that blockchain technology makes Bitcoin more secure than traditional electronic money transfers, there have been a number of notable hacks. In May 2019 for example, more than $40 million
worth of bitcoin was stolen from several high-value accounts on crypto exchange Binance which then covered the losses.</li>
<li> Limited use: A few merchants are starting to accept bitcoin as a form of payment, but these companies are the exception rather than the rule.</li>
<li> Not protected by SIPC: Investor Protection insures investors up to $500,000 in the event of a brokerage failure or theft of funds, but this insurance does not cover cryptocurrencies</li>
</ul>
<h2><span style="color:#d35400"><strong>Hot wallets and cold wallets</strong></span></h2>
<p>If you decide to buy bitcoin, you will need a place to store it. Bitcoins can be stored in two types of digital wallets:</p>
<ul>
<li> Hot wallet: You can often store cryptocurrencies on exchanges where they are sold, or in a separate online storage space. These solutions provide access through a computer browser, desktop or smartphone application.</li>
<li> Cold Wallet: An encrypted mobile device much like a thumb drive that allows you to download and hold your bitcoins.</li>
</ul>
<h2><span style="color:#d35400"><strong>How to earn from bitcoin</strong></span></h2>
<p>Here are some ways in which you can learn how to profit from Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies:</p>
<p>Cryptocurrency mining</p>
<p>You may have heard about Bitcoin mining as a simple and quick way to make money, but it is not, it takes a lot of energy that costs money, and you need to spend thousands of dollars on dedicated equipment to do it. There are some
cryptocurrencies that you can mine a little easier like Monero, but again, given the amount of energy it takes to mine, it's not really profitable.</p>
<h2><span style="color:#d35400"><strong>Storage</strong></span></h2>
<p>This is somewhat similar to mining, except that it applies to blockchains that use Proof of Stake (PoS) like Ethereum, rather than Proof of Work (PoW) like Bitcoin. This option is less energy intensive, but depends on the presence of a large
percentage of coins. There is an opportunity to work with smaller altcoins like tezos, vechain and NEO, but due to the low value of the coins, this will not bring you much money.</p>
<h2><span style="color:#d35400"><strong>daily trading</strong></span></h2>
<p>This is a popular way to earn from bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, since it is also used with stocks and other assets. All you have to do is buy the currency and then sell it to make a profit. But you should know that profit from this method
is not guaranteed, the many volatility involved make it a risky business.</p>
<p>Cryptocurrency trading is more risky since it is impossible to predict how a currency will perform from day to day. If you want to earn properly, you will have to treat it as a full time job since you will need to constantly check how good
or bad the currency is to get the best buying and selling rates.</p>
<h2><span style="color:#d35400"><strong>Working for Blockchain</strong></span></h2>
<p>Some of the tasks you can do for the benefit of blockchain require tech savvy, while others are small tasks that anyone can do such as marketing cryptocurrency or blockchain via a YouTube video or writing a review. This business will not
guarantee you a lifetime of wealth or financial stability, but it is a great way to get a side income. As for those who want the full commitment, there are also actual jobs in these places such as blockchain development and PR.[2]How can I
make money from bitcoin?, theface. Accessed 04-20-2020.</p>
<h2><span style="color:#d35400"><strong>Buy and keep</strong></span></h2>
<p>All you have to do here is do your research on the digital currencies that you think will rise in value and then buy and hold. Basically, you're betting on whether the value of, say, solana, will increase over the next few months, years, or
maybe decades. Ideally, you will do some research, and then buy when the price goes down a bit to make the most profit. There will be days when the currency will collapse, but slow and steady increases over a long period of time will ensure
that you turn a profit.</p>
<p>Let's take a historical look at this process. If you bought £100 of bitcoin in February 2011, when it was worth $1, and then held it, you would have £4.6 million (based on the price of bitcoin at the time of writing). This shows that this
strategy can work well over a long period of time.</p>

WHAT IS BITCOIN AND HOW TO PROFIT FROM IT?
0 votes
asked 3 days ago in question by admin (820 points)
Bitcoin is a form of digital cash that eliminates the need for central
authorities such as banks or governments, and uses a peer-to-peer internet to
confirm purchases directly between users. Bitcoin was launched in 2009 by a
mysterious developer known as Satoshi Nakamoto, and was the first and most
valuable participant in the emerging asset class known as cryptocurrency. If you
are interested in what is bitcoin and how to earn it, or how to profit from
bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, then read this article.
WHAT IS BITCOIN AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Each bitcoin is a file stored in a digital wallet on a computer or smartphone.
To understand how this digital currency works, it is necessary to understand
some important terms and have a general context for them:
* Blockchain: Bitcoin is powered by an open source code known as a
blockchain, which creates a common public record of transactions organized
into “blocks” that are “linked” together to prevent manipulation.
* Private and Public Keys: A bitcoin wallet contains a public key and a
private key, which work together to allow the owner to initiate and digitally
sign transactions. These keys unlock the central function of Bitcoin, i.e.
securely transferring ownership from one user to another.
* Bitcoin mining: Users on the Bitcoin network verify transactions through
a process known as mining, which is designed to ensure that new transactions
are compatible with other transactions completed in the past.
You can find more terms and phrases that will help you better understand the
world of cryptocurrency investing in our Crypto Terms article.
HOW TO EARN BITCOIN
New bitcoins are generated as part of the bitcoin mining process, offered as a
lucrative reward for people who operate computer systems that help validate
transactions.
Bitcoin miners are the owners of high-speed computers that independently confirm
each transaction, adding an entire “block” of transactions to the ever-growing
“chain” that has a permanent record of each Bitcoin transaction.
Miners are paid bitcoins for their efforts, which incentivizes the decentralized
network to independently verify each transaction. This independent network of
miners also reduces the chance of fraud or misinformation, as the majority of
miners need to verify the authenticity of each block of data before adding it to
the blockchain, in a process known as “Proof of Work.” ”
HOW TO START MINING BITCOIN
As the popularity and value of Bitcoin has grown, so has the competition for the
rewards offered by mining. Most miners now use specialized computers designed
just for this purpose, which use an enormous amount of energy. The high cost of
these devices may be a barrier to entry.
There are some small operators who choose to join mining pools where they pool
their computing power in an effort to compete for rewards. But on the whole,
Bitcoin mining is a very difficult and expensive proposition for the
uninitiated.[1]What Is Bitcoin?, nerdwallet. Accessed 04-20-2020.
CAN BITCOIN BE CONVERTED INTO CASH?
Like many other assets, Bitcoin can be bought and sold with fiat currencies such
as the US dollar. The price will depend on the current market value, which can
fluctuate significantly from day to day.
If you are looking to buy or sell bitcoin, the simplest approach for most
beginners is a cryptocurrency exchange that you can do with an online brokerage,
or on any cryptocurrency platform. Here are some other options for buying and
selling bitcoin:
1. Peer-to-peer transactions: Someone might pay you bitcoin for a product
or service, or accept bitcoin as payment instead of cash.
2. Bitcoin ATMs: There are more than 32,000 Bitcoin ATMs in the United
States.
IS BITCOIN A GOOD INVESTMENT?
Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general are a volatile asset class. The general
rule is that you should allocate only a small portion of the portfolio to risky
investments such as Bitcoin or individual stocks. Whether or not bitcoin is a
good investment depends on your individual circumstances, but here are some
bitcoin pros and cons to consider.
BITCOIN PROS
* PRIVATE AND SECURE TRANSACTIONS AT ANY TIME WITH LOW FEE: Once you own
bitcoins, you can transfer them anytime and anywhere, reducing the time and
potential cost of any transaction. Transactions do not contain personal
information such as your name or credit card number, eliminating the risk of
your information being stolen.
* Significant growth potential: Some investors who buy the currency are
betting that once Bitcoin matures, it will gain more trust and more
widespread use, and therefore its value will increase.
* Decentralization: After the financial crisis and the Great Recession,
some investors are eager to adopt an alternative decentralized currency that
is essentially outside the control of normal banks, governing authorities or
any other third parties.
BITCOIN CONS
* Price volatility: While the value of Bitcoin has risen dramatically over
the years, the fortunes of buyers have varied widely depending on the timing
of their investment. Those who bought in 2017 when the bitcoin price was
racing towards $20,000 for example, had to wait until December 2020 to recoup
their losses. Although 2021 was a strong period for bitcoin, it has since
fallen dramatically from its all-time highs.
* Hacking Concerns: While backers say that blockchain technology makes
Bitcoin more secure than traditional electronic money transfers, there have
been a number of notable hacks. In May 2019 for example, more than $40
million worth of bitcoin was stolen from several high-value accounts on
crypto exchange Binance which then covered the losses.
* Limited use: A few merchants are starting to accept bitcoin as a form of
payment, but these companies are the exception rather than the rule.
* Not protected by SIPC: Investor Protection insures investors up to
$500,000 in the event of a brokerage failure or theft of funds, but this
insurance does not cover cryptocurrencies
HOT WALLETS AND COLD WALLETS
If you decide to buy bitcoin, you will need a place to store it. Bitcoins can be
stored in two types of digital wallets:
* Hot wallet: You can often store cryptocurrencies on exchanges where they
are sold, or in a separate online storage space. These solutions provide
access through a computer browser, desktop or smartphone application.
* Cold Wallet: An encrypted mobile device much like a thumb drive that
allows you to download and hold your bitcoins.
HOW TO EARN FROM BITCOIN
Here are some ways in which you can learn how to profit from Bitcoin and
cryptocurrencies:
Cryptocurrency mining
You may have heard about Bitcoin mining as a simple and quick way to make money,
but it is not, it takes a lot of energy that costs money, and you need to spend
thousands of dollars on dedicated equipment to do it. There are some
cryptocurrencies that you can mine a little easier like Monero, but again, given
the amount of energy it takes to mine, it's not really profitable.
STORAGE
This is somewhat similar to mining, except that it applies to blockchains that
use Proof of Stake (PoS) like Ethereum, rather than Proof of Work (PoW) like
Bitcoin. This option is less energy intensive, but depends on the presence of a
large percentage of coins. There is an opportunity to work with smaller altcoins
like tezos, vechain and NEO, but due to the low value of the coins, this will
not bring you much money.
DAILY TRADING
This is a popular way to earn from bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, since it is
also used with stocks and other assets. All you have to do is buy the currency
and then sell it to make a profit. But you should know that profit from this
method is not guaranteed, the many volatility involved make it a risky business.
Cryptocurrency trading is more risky since it is impossible to predict how a
currency will perform from day to day. If you want to earn properly, you will
have to treat it as a full time job since you will need to constantly check how
good or bad the currency is to get the best buying and selling rates.
WORKING FOR BLOCKCHAIN
Some of the tasks you can do for the benefit of blockchain require tech savvy,
while others are small tasks that anyone can do such as marketing cryptocurrency
or blockchain via a YouTube video or writing a review. This business will not
guarantee you a lifetime of wealth or financial stability, but it is a great way
to get a side income. As for those who want the full commitment, there are also
actual jobs in these places such as blockchain development and PR.[2]How can I
make money from bitcoin?, theface. Accessed 04-20-2020.
BUY AND KEEP
All you have to do here is do your research on the digital currencies that you
think will rise in value and then buy and hold. Basically, you're betting on
whether the value of, say, solana, will increase over the next few months,
years, or maybe decades. Ideally, you will do some research, and then buy when
the price goes down a bit to make the most profit. There will be days when the
currency will collapse, but slow and steady increases over a long period of time
will ensure that you turn a profit.
Let's take a historical look at this process. If you bought £100 of bitcoin in
February 2011, when it was worth $1, and then held it, you would have £4.6
million (based on the price of bitcoin at the time of writing). This shows that
this strategy can work well over a long period of time.
