What is Bitcoin? Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that operates independently of any central bank or financial institution. It was created by an unknown person using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009. The primary function of Bitcoin is to act as a medium of exchange, where transactions can be made between parties without the need for intermediaries such as banks or credit card companies. Transactions are verified through a network of computers called miners, who solve complex mathematical problems to validate transactions and add them to a public ledger known as the blockchain. This process ensures transparency, security, and prevents double-spending. Bitcoin uses a cryptographic system to ensure its value remains stable over time.
How to Buy Bitcoin? Buying Bitcoin involves several steps:
- Determine your budget: Decide how much you want to spend on Bitcoin.
- Choose a reputable exchange platform: Look for platforms with good customer support and secure transaction options.
- Open an account: Create an account on the chosen exchange platform and verify it with your personal identification details.
- Deposit funds into your account: Transfer money from another cryptocurrency wallet (like a Bitcoin Wallet) or your bank account to your exchange account.
- Purchase Bitcoin: Enter the amount of Bitcoin you wish to buy and complete the purchase.
How to Sell Bitcoin? Selling Bitcoin follows similar steps as buying but in reverse order:
- Log out of your account if necessary: Exit the trading interface or close the application completely before proceeding.
- Withdraw funds from the exchange: Use the withdrawal feature provided by the exchange platform to transfer your Bitcoin balance back to your desired wallet or banking option.
- Close the exchange account: Once all Bitcoin transfers have been completed, close your exchange account.
Common Questions Answered:
-
How do I know my transaction is confirmed?
Confirmations refer to the number of blocks mined after a specific transaction. When at least six confirmations appear in the blockchain, it means the transaction is considered final and irreversible. However, it's advisable to wait for more than ten confirmations for safety reasons.
-
What happens if my Bitcoin gets lost?
Losing Bitcoin usually means losing access to your private key(s). If your wallet software fails or you lose track of your private keys, it might be impossible to recover the lost Bitcoins unless you have multiple backups stored safely. Always keep a copy of your private keys in a safe location to avoid data loss due to hardware failure or other unforeseen circumstances.

Why does Bitcoin fluctuate so much?
Bitcoin's price is influenced by market supply and demand dynamics. Supply and demand are affected by various factors including investor sentiment, technological advancements, regulatory changes, and overall economic conditions. These variables cause fluctuations in Bitcoin prices over time.
Remember, Bitcoin is not suitable for speculative investment purposes; it should only be used for legitimate transactions and exchanges. Always conduct thorough research before engaging in any financial activities involving cryptocurrencies.
