What is bitcoin?

Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency invented in 2009 by an anonymous person or group under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. The idea behind the creation of bitcoin was to intriduce a decentralized financial system that is not controlled by any central bank, group, or government.

Bitcoin can be kept as an investment or utilized as a form of payment for products and services. Since its launch, bitcoin has greatly impacted global financial markets by offering a peer-to-peer payment method that avoids conventional financial intermediaries like banks.

With the rising demand for BTC, various alternative cryptocurrencies and blockchain-based ventures have emerged.

Is bitcoin secure?

BTC is considered relatively safe due to its reliance on blockchain technology. Blockchain uses cryptography and a decentralized network of computers (“nodes”) to validate transactions making all of the transactions publicly accessible. 

There are over 10,000 nodes across the globe, this means that other servers can take over if one is compromised. Bitcoin is, however, potentially dangerous as an investment, given its market volatility.

Bitcoin’s energy consumption

Bitcoin’s energy consumption is determined by examining its hash rate, which means the combined processing power utilized to mine bitcoin and process transactions. BTC uses about 110 Terawatt Hours annually, or about 0.55% of the world’s electrical output.

How to buy bitcoin

Purchasing BTC involves some easy steps. First, choose a cryptocurrency exchange based on location, payment options, and security measures. You can also buy bitcoin on decentralized exchanges (DEX) which allow users to be anonymous and don’t require providing personal information. In some countries, it’s possible to buy BTC in bitcoin ATMs.

If you choose to buy bitcoin on a centralized exchange, register and verify your identity, and link your payment methods, such as a bank account, debit/credit card, or PayPal account.

Order placement varies with different exchanges, but it generally involves entering the amount of bitcoin you want to buy before confirming your purchase. Once the purchase is complete, transfer the bitcoin to a secure wallet.

Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken are examples of popular centralized exchanges where you can buy bitcoin. Major decentralized exchanges include UniSwap, PancakeSwap, and Curve.
