Bitcoin, the world’s first mainstream cryptocurrency, was released in 2009. The Bitcoin software, is nothing more than a list of wallet addresses (bank account numbers) and their balances. Specially designed computers “mine” for new bitcoins by solving algorithms and condensing all transactions that occur over a period of time into a block. Once the algorithm is solved, a new block is created and all transaction and wallet balances are stored in the block. These blocks if viewed physically, connect together in a linear fashion based on time and create what is called the “blockchain”. The whitepaper, written by Satoshi Nakamoto, was published online on October 31st, 2008.
There are many ways to buy Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The easiest and most secure way is to buy Bitcoin through a trusted exchange. Three of the most popular are Coinbase, Cash App and Robinhood.
Bitcoin can be stored many places. The best and most secure place is on a “hardware wallet”. This is essentially a secure and encrypted flash drive that stores your Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
Although many people have made a fortune in cryptocurrencies, it is by no means a get rich quick scheme. You should always understand the investment and cryptocurrency you are purchasing. There are many scam coins out there to stay away from, so it is best to know what you are investing in.
