Investing in Bitcoin

Bitcoin and e-commerce are always on the rise. Today, it is so easy to buy something online. Not only can you buy things before they are actually made, but some of the things they are trying to sell are totally weird.

So let's talk about investing in bitcoin.

While it may feel weird at first to purchase virtual currency with an actual currency you worked hard for, just try to think of it like this: when you are buying a bitcoin stock, it's like buying a product at a store. This product will increase and decrease in value over time, and you can always return the product when it is at its next high.

I do realize why people may feel uncomfortable investing in bitcoin—after all, Satoshi Nakamoto has never even revealed his true identity. Also, the fact that Bitcoin could be our future is kinda scary. If it makes you feel better, bitcoin itself is probably not the future, just something very similar.

Bitcoin Stock

If you are still interested in investing in bitcoin, here are a few tips:

1. It takes five days for your money to be sent to the stocks. The stock value of bitcoin will be different by then.
2. Don't invest money you can't afford to lose. Bitcoin is way too unpredictable.
3. Use "Coinbase" to purchase your stocks.Many other methods have been hacked and are deemed untrustworthy.
4. Use a bitcoin wallet. Another way to keep your investment safe is to use a virtual wallet.
5. Buy and forget. There will be so many ups and downs for the bitcoin stock. It's best not to stress too much. Buy your first small investment and wait for some big news to break the internet that bitcoin has reached over 11,000 again (I'm not saying this will for sure happen, so please don't hold it against me).
6. Don't forget that there are other types of virtual currencies out there. It's not just bitcoin.

What is bitcoin anyway?

So, we know that bitcoin is a virtual currency made by a guy who probably isn't who he says he is. However, does anyone really understand more? The truth is, there is still a huge mystery behind bitcoin itself, which is why you should really consider investing in another type of virtual currency. Even if you don't trust bitcoin, you should probably get behind the online shopping bandwagon.

Just remember, the internet is the future!
