Bitcoin is another cash that was made in 2009 by an obscure individual utilizing the false name Satoshi Nakamoto. Exchanges are made with no middle men – meaning, no banks! There are no exchange charges and no compelling reason to give your genuine name. More dealers are starting to acknowledge them: You can purchase web-facilitating administrations, pizza or even nail treatments. There are no limits to how small or how big each transaction can be. You can send or receive a very small amount of Bitcoin, for example 0.000000001BTC. Another advantage is that the whole transaction process can be completed anonymously. Bitcoin is not cheap. As of today, 1 BTC(Bitcoin) = 6609.01 US Dollar and the value of a Bitcoin is still rising.
