It’s hard to read or watch the news these days without hearing something about the mysterious Bitcoin, a decentralized digital currency and peer-to-peer payment system that seemingly appeared out of thin air. It did not exist prior to 2009 and no one knows who created it. Fast forward five years, and it is now a global currency that at one point was valued north of 46295,000 per bitcoin!
Sounds pretty crazy, right? Especially considering that it was only cents on the dollar three years ago. In fact, in one of the first public Bitcoin transactions on record, two pizzas were purchased for 10,000 bitcoins (thats 17072 million). If that sounds crazy to you, then wrap your head around this: Bitcoin is created by computers which “mine” for it, and if you really wanted to, you can go out and buy Bitcoin mining hardware on Amazon right this second.
The Bitcoin story gets better and better. Because Bitcoin is not tied to any government or bank, black market merchants love it, and it was widely popular on the secret website called the Silk Road, which was known as the eBay for illicit drugs. When the FBI found this out, it shut the site down and confiscated 144,000 bitcoins, valued at million at the time.
Bitcoin has now attracted the attention of Wall Street, and two of the biggest investors in the ficticious currency are the Winklevoss brothers, whom you might know as the twin brothers who claimed they started Facebook before Mark Zuckerburg did, eventually winning 0 million in a lawsuit. In April of 2013, they claimed to own 1% of all existing bitcoins.
There is a bright side to Bitcoin:
- It’s good for low-fee transactions
- It can be used anywhere in the world
- It can’t be counterfeited
- It’s non-inflationary
- It’s open source
In short, the Bitcoin saga sounds like an episode of Days of Our Lives meets The Twilight Zone. The big question is: Is it worth the hype and is it something worth investing in? If you are looking to decipher the Bitcoin code, look no further than Bitcoin Basics.
