It's easy as 1-2-3 with our Bitcoin Faucet Giveaway Contest!<br> Join the competition - Click here to join the <a href="https://gleam.io/TzQzc/001-btc-giveaway">Bitcoin Faucet Giveaway</a>!</p> <p>&nbsp;Bitcoin is an innovative payment network and a new kind of money.Bitcoin &nbsp;uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority or &nbsp;banks; managing transactions and the issuing of bitcoins is carried out &nbsp;collectively by the network. <strong>Bitcoin is open-source; its design is public, nobody owns or controls Bitcoin and everyone can take part.</strong> Through many of its unique properties, Bitcoin allows exciting uses that could not be covered by any previous payment system.How does Bitcoin work?From &nbsp;a user perspective, Bitcoin is nothing more than a mobile app or &nbsp;computer program that provides a personal Bitcoin wallet and allows a &nbsp;user to send and receive bitcoins with them. This is how Bitcoin works &nbsp;for most users.Behind the scenes, the Bitcoin network is sharing a &nbsp;public ledger called the "block chain". This ledger contains every &nbsp;transaction ever processed, allowing a user’s computer to verify the &nbsp;validity of each transaction. The authenticity of each transaction is &nbsp;protected by digital signatures corresponding to the sending addresses, &nbsp;allowing all users to have full control over sending bitcoins from their &nbsp;own Bitcoin addresses. In addition, anyone can process transactions &nbsp;using the computing power of specialized hardware and earn a reward in &nbsp;bitcoins for this service. This is often called "mining". To learn more &nbsp;about Bitcoin, you can consult the dedicated page and the original &nbsp;paper.Who created Bitcoin?Bitcoin &nbsp;is the first implementation of a concept called "cryptocurrency", which &nbsp;was first described in 1998 by Wei Dai on the cypherpunks mailing list, &nbsp;suggesting the idea of a new form of money that uses cryptography to &nbsp;control its creation and transactions, rather than a central authority. &nbsp;The first Bitcoin specification and proof of concept was published in &nbsp;2009 in a cryptography mailing list by Satoshi Nakamoto. Satoshi left &nbsp;the project in late 2010 without revealing much about himself. The &nbsp;community has since grown exponentially with many developers working on &nbsp;Bitcoin.Satoshi’s anonymity often raised unjustified concerns, &nbsp;many of which are linked to misunderstanding of the open-source nature &nbsp;of Bitcoin. The Bitcoin protocol and software are published openly and &nbsp;any developer around the world can review the code or make their own &nbsp;modified version of the Bitcoin software. Just like current developers, &nbsp;Satoshi’s influence was limited to the changes he made being adopted by &nbsp;others and therefore he did not control Bitcoin. As such, the identity &nbsp;of Bitcoin’s inventor is probably as relevant today as the identity of &nbsp;the person who invented paper.Who controls the Bitcoin network?Nobody &nbsp;owns the Bitcoin network much like no one owns the technology behind &nbsp;email. Bitcoin is controlled by all Bitcoin users around the world. &nbsp;While developers are improving the software, they can’t force a change &nbsp;in the Bitcoin protocol because all users are free to choose what &nbsp;software and version they use. In order to stay compatible with each &nbsp;other, all users need to use software complying with the same rules. &nbsp;Bitcoin can only work correctly with a complete consensus among all &nbsp;users. Therefore, all users and developers have a strong incentive to &nbsp;protect this consensus.Is Bitcoin really used by people?Yes. &nbsp;There is a growing number of businesses and individuals using Bitcoin. &nbsp;This includes brick and mortar businesses like restaurants, apartments, &nbsp;law firms, and popular online services such as Namecheap, WordPress, and &nbsp;Reddit. While Bitcoin remains a relatively new phenomenon, it is &nbsp;growing fast. At the end of August 2013, the value of all bitcoins in &nbsp;circulation exceeded US$ 1.5 billion with millions of dollars worth of &nbsp;bitcoins exchanged daily.How does one acquire bitcoins?</p> <ul> <li>As payment for goods or services.</li> <li>Purchase bitcoins at a Bitcoin exchange.</li> <li>Exchange bitcoins with someone near you.</li> <li>Earn bitcoins through competitive mining.</li> </ul> <p>While &nbsp;it may be possible to find individuals who wish to sell bitcoins in &nbsp;exchange for a credit card or PayPal payment, most exchanges do not &nbsp;allow funding via these payment methods. This is due to cases where &nbsp;someone buys bitcoins with PayPal, and then reverses their half of the &nbsp;transaction. This is commonly referred to as a chargeback.How difficult is it to make a Bitcoin payment?Bitcoin &nbsp;payments are easier to make than debit or credit card purchases, and &nbsp;can be received without a merchant account. Payments are made from a &nbsp;wallet application, either on your computer or smartphone, by entering &nbsp;the recipient’s address, the payment amount, and pressing send. To make &nbsp;it easier to enter a recipient’s address, many wallets can obtain the &nbsp;address by scanning a QR code or touching two phones together with NFC &nbsp;technology.What are the advantages of Bitcoin?</p> <ul> <li>Payment &nbsp;freedom - It is possible to send and receive any amount of money &nbsp;instantly anywhere in the world at any time. No bank holidays. No &nbsp;borders. No imposed limits. Bitcoin allows its users to be in full &nbsp;control of their money.</li> <li>Very low fees - Bitcoin payments are &nbsp;currently processed with either no fees or extremely small fees. Users &nbsp;may include fees with transactions to receive priority processing, which &nbsp;results in faster confirmation of transactions by the network. &nbsp;Additionally, merchant processors exist to assist merchants in &nbsp;processing transactions, converting bitcoins to fiat currency and &nbsp;depositing funds directly into merchants’ bank accounts daily. As these &nbsp;services are based on Bitcoin, they can be offered for much lower fees &nbsp;than with PayPal or credit card networks.</li> <li>Fewer risks for &nbsp;merchants - Bitcoin transactions are secure, irreversible, and do not &nbsp;contain customers’ sensitive or &nbsp;personal information. This protects merchants from losses caused by &nbsp;fraud or fraudulent chargebacks, and there is no need for PCI &nbsp;compliance. Merchants can easily expand to new markets where either &nbsp;credit cards are not available or fraud rates are unacceptably high. The &nbsp;net results are lower fees, larger markets, and fewer administrative &nbsp;costs.</li> <li>Security and control - Bitcoin users are in full control &nbsp;of their transactions; it is impossible for merchants to force unwanted &nbsp;or unnoticed charges as can happen with other payment methods. Bitcoin &nbsp;payments can be made without personal information tied to the &nbsp;transaction. This offers strong protection against identity theft. &nbsp;Bitcoin users can also protect their money with backup and encryption.</li> <li>Transparent &nbsp;and neutral - All information concerning the Bitcoin money supply &nbsp;itself is readily available on the block chain for anybody to verify and &nbsp;use in real-time. No individual or organization can control or &nbsp;manipulate the Bitcoin protocol because it is cryptographically secure. &nbsp;This allows the core of Bitcoin to be trusted for being completely &nbsp;neutral, transparent and predictable.</li> </ul> <p>What are the disadvantages of Bitcoin?</p> <ul> <li>Degree &nbsp;of acceptance - Many people are still unaware of Bitcoin. Every day, &nbsp;more businesses accept bitcoins because they want the advantages of &nbsp;doing so, but the list remains small and still needs to grow in order to &nbsp;benefit from network effects.</li> <li>Volatility - The total value of &nbsp;bitcoins in circulation and the number of businesses using Bitcoin are &nbsp;still very small compared to what they could be. Therefore, relatively &nbsp;small events, trades, or business activities can significantly affect &nbsp;the price. In theory, this volatility will decrease as Bitcoin markets &nbsp;and the technology matures. Never before has the world seen a start-up &nbsp;currency, so it is truly difficult (and exciting) to imagine how it will &nbsp;play out.</li> <li>Ongoing development - Bitcoin software is still in &nbsp;beta with many incomplete features in active development. New tools, &nbsp;features, and services are being developed to make Bitcoin more secure &nbsp;and accessible to the masses. Some of these are still not ready for &nbsp;everyone. Most Bitcoin businesses are new and still offer no insurance. &nbsp;In general, Bitcoin is still in the process of maturing.</li> </ul> <p>Why do people trust Bitcoin?Much &nbsp;of the trust in Bitcoin comes from the fact that it requires no trust &nbsp;at all. Bitcoin is fully open-source and decentralized. This means that &nbsp;anyone has access to the entire source code at any time. Any developer &nbsp;in the world can therefore verify exactly how Bitcoin works. All &nbsp;transactions and bitcoins issued into existence can be transparently &nbsp;consulted in real-time by anyone. All payments can be made without &nbsp;reliance on a third party and the whole system is protected by heavily &nbsp;peer-reviewed cryptographic algorithms like those used for online &nbsp;banking. No organization or individual can control Bitcoin, and the &nbsp;network remains secure even if not all of its users can be trusted.Can I make money with Bitcoin?You &nbsp;should never expect to get rich with Bitcoin or any emerging &nbsp;technology. It is always important to be wary of anything that sounds &nbsp;too good to be true or disobeys basic economic rules.Bitcoin is a &nbsp;growing space of innovation and there are business opportunities that &nbsp;also include risks. There is no guarantee that Bitcoin will continue to &nbsp;grow even though it has developed at a very fast rate so far. Investing &nbsp;time and resources on anything related to Bitcoin requires &nbsp;entrepreneurship. There are various ways to make money with Bitcoin such &nbsp;as mining, speculation or running new businesses. All of these methods &nbsp;are competitive and there is no guarantee of profit. It is up to each &nbsp;individual to make a proper evaluation of the costs and the risks &nbsp;involved in any such project.Is Bitcoin fully virtual and immaterial?Bitcoin &nbsp;is as virtual as the credit cards and online banking networks people &nbsp;use everyday. Bitcoin can be used to pay online and in physical stores &nbsp;just like any other form of money. Bitcoins can also be exchanged in &nbsp;physical form such as the Casascius coins, but paying with a mobile &nbsp;phone usually remains more convenient. Bitcoin balances are stored in a &nbsp;large distributed network, and they cannot be fraudulently altered by &nbsp;anybody. In other words, Bitcoin users have exclusive control over their &nbsp;funds and bitcoins cannot vanish just because they are virtual.Is Bitcoin anonymous?Bitcoin &nbsp;is designed to allow its users to send and receive payments with an &nbsp;acceptable level of privacy as well as any other form of money. However, &nbsp;Bitcoin is not anonymous and cannot offer the same level of privacy as &nbsp;cash. The use of Bitcoin leaves extensive public records. Various &nbsp;mechanisms exist to protect users’ privacy, and more are in development. &nbsp;However, there is still work to be done before these features are used &nbsp;correctly by most Bitcoin users.Some concerns have been raised &nbsp;that private transactions could be used for illegal purposes with &nbsp;Bitcoin. However, it is worth noting that Bitcoin will undoubtedly be &nbsp;subjected to similar regulations that are already in place inside &nbsp;existing financial systems. Bitcoin cannot be more anonymous than cash &nbsp;and it is not likely to prevent criminal investigations from being &nbsp;conducted. Additionally, Bitcoin is also designed to prevent a large &nbsp;range of financial crimes.What happens when bitcoins are lost?When &nbsp;a user loses his wallet, it has the effect of removing money out of &nbsp;circulation. Lost bitcoins still remain in the block chain just like any &nbsp;other bitcoins. However, lost bitcoins remain dormant forever because &nbsp;there is no way for anybody to find the private key(s) that would allow &nbsp;them to be spent again. Because of the law of supply and demand, when &nbsp;fewer bitcoins are available, the ones that are left will be in higher &nbsp;demand and increase in value to compensate.Can Bitcoin scale to become a major payment network?The &nbsp;Bitcoin network can already process a much higher number of &nbsp;transactions per second than it does today. It is, however, not entirely &nbsp;ready to scale to the level of major credit card networks. Work is &nbsp;underway to lift current limitations, and future requirements are well &nbsp;known. Since inception, every aspect of the Bitcoin network has been in a &nbsp;continuous process of maturation, optimization, and specialization, and &nbsp;it should be expected to remain that way for some years to come. As &nbsp;traffic grows, more Bitcoin users may use lightweight clients, and full &nbsp;network nodes may become a more specialized service. For more details, &nbsp;see the Scalability page on the Wiki.Is Bitcoin legal?To &nbsp;the best of our knowledge, Bitcoin has not been made illegal by &nbsp;legislation in most jurisdictions. However, some jurisdictions (such as &nbsp;Argentina and Russia) severely restrict or ban foreign currencies. Other &nbsp;jurisdictions (such as Thailand) may limit the licensing of certain &nbsp;entities such as Bitcoin exchanges.Regulators from various &nbsp;jurisdictions are taking steps to provide individuals and businesses &nbsp;with rules on how to integrate this new technology with the formal, &nbsp;regulated financial system. For example, the Financial Crimes &nbsp;Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau in the United States Treasury &nbsp;Department, issued non-binding guidance on how it characterizes certain &nbsp;activities involving virtual currencies.Is Bitcoin useful for illegal activities?Bitcoin &nbsp;is money, and money has always been used both for legal and illegal &nbsp;purposes. Cash, credit cards and current banking systems widely surpass &nbsp;Bitcoin in terms of their use to finance crime. Bitcoin can bring &nbsp;significant innovation in payment systems and the benefits of such &nbsp;innovation are often considered to be far beyond their potential &nbsp;drawbacks.Bitcoin is designed to be a huge step forward in making &nbsp;money more secure and could also act as a significant protection &nbsp;against many forms of financial crime. For instance, bitcoins are &nbsp;completely impossible to counterfeit. Users are in full control of their &nbsp;payments and cannot receive unapproved charges such as with credit card &nbsp;fraud. Bitcoin transactions are irreversible and immune to fraudulent &nbsp;chargebacks. Bitcoin allows money to be secured against theft and loss &nbsp;using very strong and useful mechanisms such as backups, encryption, and &nbsp;multiple signatures.Some concerns have been raised that Bitcoin &nbsp;could be more attractive to criminals because it can be used to make &nbsp;private and irreversible payments. However, these features already exist &nbsp;with cash and wire transfer, which are widely used and &nbsp;well-established. The use of Bitcoin will undoubtedly be subjected to &nbsp;similar regulations that are already in place inside existing financial &nbsp;systems, and Bitcoin is not likely to prevent criminal investigations &nbsp;from being conducted. In general, it is common for important &nbsp;breakthroughs to be perceived as being controversial before their &nbsp;benefits are well understood. The Internet is a good example among many &nbsp;others to illustrate this.Can Bitcoin be regulated?The &nbsp;Bitcoin protocol itself cannot be modified without the cooperation of &nbsp;nearly all its users, who choose what software they use. Attempting to &nbsp;assign special rights to a local authority in the rules of the global &nbsp;Bitcoin network is not a practical possibility. Any rich organization &nbsp;could choose to invest in mining hardware to control half of the &nbsp;computing power of the network and become able to block or reverse &nbsp;recent transactions. However, there is no guarantee that they could &nbsp;retain this power since this requires to invest as much than all other &nbsp;miners in the world.It is however possible to regulate the use of &nbsp;Bitcoin in a similar way to any other instrument. Just like the dollar, &nbsp;Bitcoin can be used for a wide variety of purposes, some of which can &nbsp;be considered legitimate or not as per each jurisdiction’s laws. In this &nbsp;regard, Bitcoin is no different than any other tool or resource and can &nbsp;be subjected to different regulations in each country. Bitcoin use &nbsp;could also be made difficult by restrictive regulations, in which case &nbsp;it is hard to determine what percentage of users would keep using the &nbsp;technology. A government that chooses to ban Bitcoin would prevent &nbsp;domestic businesses and markets from developing, shifting innovation to &nbsp;other countries. The challenge for regulators, as always, is to develop &nbsp;efficient solutions while not impairing the growth of new emerging &nbsp;markets and businesses.What about Bitcoin and taxes?Bitcoin &nbsp;is not a fiat currency with legal tender status in any jurisdiction, &nbsp;but often tax liability accrues regardless of the medium used. There is a &nbsp;wide variety of legislation in many different jurisdictions which could &nbsp;cause income, sales, payroll, capital gains, or some other form of tax &nbsp;liability to arise with Bitcoin.What about Bitcoin and consumer protection?Bitcoin &nbsp;is freeing people to transact on their own terms. Each user can send &nbsp;and receive payments in a similar way to cash but they can also take &nbsp;part in more complex contracts. Multiple signatures allow a transaction &nbsp;to be accepted by the network only if a certain number of a defined &nbsp;group of persons agree to sign the transaction. This allows innovative &nbsp;dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. Such services &nbsp;could allow a third party to approve or reject a transaction in case of &nbsp;disagreement between the other parties without having control on their &nbsp;money. As opposed to cash and other payment methods, Bitcoin always &nbsp;leaves a public proof that a transaction did take place, which can &nbsp;potentially be used in a recourse against businesses with fraudulent &nbsp;practices.It is also worth noting that while merchants usually &nbsp;depend on their public reputation to remain in business and pay their &nbsp;employees, they don’t have access to the same level of information when &nbsp;dealing with new consumers. The way Bitcoin works allows both &nbsp;individuals and businesses to be protected against fraudulent &nbsp;chargebacks while giving the choice to the consumer to ask for more &nbsp;protection when they are not willing to trust a particular merchant.How are bitcoins created?New &nbsp;bitcoins are generated by a competitive and decentralized process &nbsp;called "mining". This process involves that individuals are rewarded by &nbsp;the network for their services. Bitcoin miners are processing &nbsp;transactions and securing the network using specialized hardware and are &nbsp;collecting new bitcoins in exchange.The Bitcoin protocol is &nbsp;designed in such a way that new bitcoins are created at a fixed rate. &nbsp;This makes Bitcoin mining a very competitive business. When more miners &nbsp;join the network, it becomes increasingly difficult to make a profit and &nbsp;miners must seek efficiency to cut their operating costs. No central &nbsp;authority or developer has any power to control or manipulate the system &nbsp;to increase their profits. Every Bitcoin node in the world will reject &nbsp;anything that does not comply with the rules it expects the system to &nbsp;follow.Bitcoins are created at a decreasing and predictable rate. &nbsp;The number of new bitcoins created each year is automatically halved &nbsp;over time until bitcoin issuance halts completely with a total of 21 &nbsp;million bitcoins in existence. At this point, Bitcoin miners will &nbsp;probably be supported exclusively by numerous small transaction fees.Why do bitcoins have value?Bitcoins &nbsp;have value because they are useful as a form of money. Bitcoin has the &nbsp;characteristics of money (durability, portability, fungibility, &nbsp;scarcity, divisibility, and recognizability) based on the properties of &nbsp;mathematics rather than relying on physical properties (like gold and &nbsp;silver) or trust in central authorities (like fiat currencies). In &nbsp;short, Bitcoin is backed by mathematics. With these attributes, all that &nbsp;is required for a form of money to hold value is trust and adoption. In &nbsp;the case of Bitcoin, this can be measured by its growing base of users, &nbsp;merchants, and startups. As with all currency, bitcoin’s value comes &nbsp;only and directly from people willing to accept them as payment.What determines bitcoin’s price?The &nbsp;price of a bitcoin is determined by supply and demand. When demand for &nbsp;bitcoins increases, the price increases, and when demand falls, the &nbsp;price falls. There is only a limited number of bitcoins in circulation &nbsp;and new bitcoins are created at a predictable and decreasing rate, which &nbsp;means that demand must follow this level of inflation to keep the price &nbsp;stable. Because Bitcoin is still a relatively small market compared to &nbsp;what it could be, it doesn’t take significant amounts of money to move &nbsp;the market price up or down, and thus the price of a bitcoin is still &nbsp;very volatile.Can bitcoins become worthless?Yes. &nbsp;History is littered with currencies that failed and are no longer used, &nbsp;such as the German Mark during the Weimar Republic and, more recently, &nbsp;the Zimbabwean dollar. Although previous currency failures were &nbsp;typically due to hyperinflation of a kind that Bitcoin makes impossible, &nbsp;there is always potential for technical failures, competing currencies, &nbsp;political issues and so on. As a basic rule of thumb, no currency &nbsp;should be considered absolutely safe from failures or hard times. &nbsp;Bitcoin has proven reliable for years since its inception and there is a &nbsp;lot of potential for Bitcoin to continue to grow. However, no one is in &nbsp;a position to predict what the future will be for Bitcoin.Is Bitcoin a bubble?A &nbsp;fast rise in price does not constitute a bubble. An artificial &nbsp;over-valuation that will lead to a sudden downward correction &nbsp;constitutes a bubble. Choices based on individual human action by &nbsp;hundreds of thousands of market participants is the cause for bitcoin’s &nbsp;price to fluctuate as the market seeks price discovery. Reasons for &nbsp;changes in sentiment may include a loss of confidence in Bitcoin, a &nbsp;large difference between value and price not based on the fundamentals &nbsp;of the Bitcoin economy, increased press coverage stimulating speculative &nbsp;demand, fear of uncertainty, and old-fashioned irrational exuberance &nbsp;and greed.Is Bitcoin a Ponzi scheme?A &nbsp;Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to &nbsp;its investors from their own money, or the money paid by subsequent &nbsp;investors, instead of from profit earned by the individuals running the &nbsp;business. Ponzi schemes are designed to collapse at the expense of the &nbsp;last investors when there is not enough new participants.Bitcoin &nbsp;is a free software project with no central authority. Consequently, no &nbsp;one is in a position to make fraudulent representations about investment &nbsp;returns. Like other major currencies such as gold, United States &nbsp;dollar, euro, yen, etc. there is no guaranteed purchasing power and the &nbsp;exchange rate floats freely. This leads to volatility where owners of &nbsp;bitcoins can unpredictably make or lose money. Beyond speculation, &nbsp;Bitcoin is also a payment system with useful and competitive attributes &nbsp;that are being used by thousands of users and businesses.Doesn’t Bitcoin unfairly benefit early adopters?Some &nbsp;early adopters have large numbers of bitcoins because they took risks &nbsp;and invested time and resources in an unproven technology that was &nbsp;hardly used by anyone and that was much harder to secure properly. Many &nbsp;early adopters spent large numbers of bitcoins quite a few times before &nbsp;they became valuable or bought only small amounts and didn’t make huge &nbsp;gains. There is no guarantee that the price of a bitcoin will increase &nbsp;or drop. This is very similar to investing in an early startup that can &nbsp;either gain value through its usefulness and popularity, or just never &nbsp;break through. Bitcoin is still in its infancy, and it has been designed &nbsp;with a very long-term view; it is hard to imagine how it could be less &nbsp;biased towards early adopters, and today’s users may or may not be the &nbsp;early adopters of tomorrow.Won’t the finite amount of bitcoins be a limitation?Bitcoin &nbsp;is unique in that only 21 million bitcoins will ever be created. &nbsp;However, this will never be a limitation because transactions can be &nbsp;denominated in smaller sub-units of a bitcoin, such as bits - there are &nbsp;1,000,000 bits in 1 bitcoin. Bitcoins can be divided up to 8 decimal &nbsp;places (0.000 000 01) and potentially even smaller units if that is ever &nbsp;required in the future as the average transaction size decreases.Won’t Bitcoin fall in a deflationary spiral?The &nbsp;deflationary spiral theory says that if prices are expected to fall, &nbsp;people will move purchases into the future in order to benefit from the &nbsp;lower prices. That fall in demand will in turn cause merchants to lower &nbsp;their prices to try and stimulate demand, making the problem worse and &nbsp;leading to an economic depression.Although this theory is a &nbsp;popular way to justify inflation amongst central bankers, it does not &nbsp;appear to always hold true and is considered controversial amongst &nbsp;economists. Consumer electronics is one example of a market where prices &nbsp;constantly fall but which is not in depression. Similarly, the value of &nbsp;bitcoins has risen over time and yet the size of the Bitcoin economy &nbsp;has also grown dramatically along with it. Because both the value of the &nbsp;currency and the size of its economy started at zero in 2009, Bitcoin &nbsp;is a counterexample to the theory showing that it must sometimes be &nbsp;wrong.Notwithstanding this, Bitcoin is not designed to be a &nbsp;deflationary currency. It is more accurate to say Bitcoin is intended to &nbsp;inflate in its early years, and become stable in its later years. The &nbsp;only time the quantity of bitcoins in circulation will drop is if people &nbsp;carelessly lose their wallets by failing to make backups. With a stable &nbsp;monetary base and a stable economy, the value of the currency should &nbsp;remain the same.Isn’t speculation and volatility a problem for Bitcoin?This &nbsp;is a chicken and egg situation. For bitcoin’s price to stabilize, a &nbsp;large scale economy needs to develop with more businesses and users. For &nbsp;a large scale economy to develop, businesses and users will seek for &nbsp;price stability.Fortunately, volatility does not affect the main &nbsp;benefits of Bitcoin as a payment system to transfer money from point A &nbsp;to point B. It is possible for businesses to convert bitcoin payments to &nbsp;their local currency instantly, allowing them to profit from the &nbsp;advantages of Bitcoin without being subjected to price fluctuations. &nbsp;Since Bitcoin offers many useful and unique features and properties, &nbsp;many users choose to use Bitcoin. With such solutions and incentives, it &nbsp;is possible that Bitcoin will mature and develop to a degree where &nbsp;price volatility will become limited.What if someone bought up all the existing bitcoins?Only &nbsp;a fraction of bitcoins issued to date are found on the exchange markets &nbsp;for sale. Bitcoin markets are competitive, meaning the price of a &nbsp;bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Additionally, &nbsp;new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Therefore &nbsp;even the most determined buyer could not buy all the bitcoins in &nbsp;existence. This situation isn’t to suggest, however, that the markets &nbsp;aren’t vulnerable to price manipulation; it still doesn’t take &nbsp;significant amounts of money to move the market price up or down, and &nbsp;thus Bitcoin remains a volatile asset thus far.What if someone creates a better digital currency?That &nbsp;can happen. For now, Bitcoin remains by far the most popular &nbsp;decentralized virtual currency, but there can be no guarantee that it &nbsp;will retain that position. There is already a set of alternative &nbsp;currencies inspired by Bitcoin. It is however probably correct to assume &nbsp;that significant improvements would be required for a new currency to &nbsp;overtake Bitcoin in terms of established market, even though this &nbsp;remains unpredictable. Bitcoin could also conceivably adopt improvements &nbsp;of a competing currency so long as it doesn’t change fundamental parts &nbsp;of the protocol.What is Bitcoin mining?Mining &nbsp;is the process of spending computing power to process transactions, &nbsp;secure the network, and keep everyone in the system synchronized &nbsp;together. It can be perceived like the Bitcoin data center except that &nbsp;it has been designed to be fully decentralized with miners operating in &nbsp;all countries and no individual having control over the network. This &nbsp;process is referred to as "mining" as an analogy to gold mining because &nbsp;it is also a temporary mechanism used to issue new bitcoins. Unlike gold &nbsp;mining, however, Bitcoin mining provides a reward in exchange for &nbsp;useful services required to operate a secure payment network. Mining &nbsp;will still be required after the last bitcoin is issued.How does Bitcoin mining work?Anybody &nbsp;can become a Bitcoin miner by running software with specialized &nbsp;hardware. Mining software listens for transactions broadcast through the &nbsp;peer-to-peer network and performs appropriate tasks to process and &nbsp;confirm these transactions. Bitcoin miners perform this work because &nbsp;they can earn transaction fees paid by users for faster transaction &nbsp;processing, and newly created bitcoins issued into existence according &nbsp;to a fixed formula.For new transactions to be confirmed, they &nbsp;need to be included in a block along with a mathematical proof of work. &nbsp;Such proofs are very hard to generate because there is no way to create &nbsp;them other than by trying billions of calculations per second. This &nbsp;requires miners to perform these calculations before their blocks are &nbsp;accepted by the network and before they are rewarded. As more people &nbsp;start to mine, the difficulty of finding valid blocks is automatically &nbsp;increased by the network to ensure that the average time to find a block &nbsp;remains equal to 10 minutes. As a result, mining is a very competitive &nbsp;business where no individual miner can control what is included in the &nbsp;block chain.The proof of work is also designed to depend on the &nbsp;previous block to force a chronological order in the block chain. This &nbsp;makes it exponentially difficult to reverse previous transactions &nbsp;because this requires the recalculation of the proofs of work of all the &nbsp;subsequent blocks. When two blocks are found at the same time, miners &nbsp;work on the first block they receive and switch to the longest chain of &nbsp;blocks as soon as the next block is found. This allows mining to secure &nbsp;and maintain a global consensus based on processing power.Bitcoin &nbsp;miners are neither able to cheat by increasing their own reward nor &nbsp;process fraudulent transactions that could corrupt the Bitcoin network &nbsp;because all Bitcoin nodes would reject any block that contains invalid &nbsp;data as per the rules of the Bitcoin protocol. Consequently, the network &nbsp;remains secure even if not all Bitcoin miners can be trusted.Isn’t Bitcoin mining a waste of energy?Spending &nbsp;energy to secure and operate a payment system is hardly a waste. Like &nbsp;any other payment service, the use of Bitcoin entails processing costs. &nbsp;Services necessary for the operation of currently widespread monetary &nbsp;systems, such as banks, credit cards, and armored vehicles, also use a &nbsp;lot of energy. Although unlike Bitcoin, their total energy consumption &nbsp;is not transparent and cannot be as easily measured.Bitcoin &nbsp;mining has been designed to become more optimized over time with &nbsp;specialized hardware consuming less energy, and the operating costs of &nbsp;mining should continue to be proportional to demand. When Bitcoin mining &nbsp;becomes too competitive and less profitable, some miners choose to stop &nbsp;their activities. Furthermore, all energy expended mining is eventually &nbsp;transformed into heat, and the most profitable miners will be those who &nbsp;have put this heat to good use. An optimally efficient mining network &nbsp;is one that isn’t actually consuming any extra energy. While this is an &nbsp;ideal, the economics of mining are such that miners individually strive &nbsp;toward it.How does mining help secure Bitcoin?Mining &nbsp;creates the equivalent of a competitive lottery that makes it very &nbsp;difficult for anyone to consecutively add new blocks of transactions &nbsp;into the block chain. This protects the neutrality of the network by &nbsp;preventing any individual from gaining the power to block certain &nbsp;transactions. This also prevents any individual from replacing parts of &nbsp;the block chain to roll back their own spends, which could be used to &nbsp;defraud other users. Mining makes it exponentially more difficult to &nbsp;reverse a past transaction by requiring the rewriting of all blocks &nbsp;following this transaction.What do I need to start mining?In &nbsp;the early days of Bitcoin, anyone could find a new block using their &nbsp;computer’s CPU. As more and more people started mining, the difficulty &nbsp;of finding new blocks increased greatly to the point where the only &nbsp;cost-effective method of mining today is using specialized hardware. You &nbsp;can visit BitcoinMining.com for more information.Is Bitcoin secure?The &nbsp;Bitcoin technology - the protocol and the cryptography - has a strong &nbsp;security track record, and the Bitcoin network is probably the biggest &nbsp;distributed computing project in the world. Bitcoin’s most common &nbsp;vulnerability is in user error. Bitcoin wallet files that store the &nbsp;necessary private keys can be accidentally deleted, lost or stolen. This &nbsp;is pretty similar to physical cash stored in a digital form. &nbsp;Fortunately, users can employ sound security practices to protect their &nbsp;money or use service providers that offer good levels of security and &nbsp;insurance against theft or loss.Hasn’t Bitcoin been hacked in the past?The &nbsp;rules of the protocol and the cryptography used for Bitcoin are still &nbsp;working years after its inception, which is a good indication that the &nbsp;concept is well designed. However, security flaws have been found and &nbsp;fixed over time in various software implementations. Like any other form &nbsp;of software, the security of Bitcoin software depends on the speed with &nbsp;which problems are found and fixed. The more such issues are &nbsp;discovered, the more Bitcoin is gaining maturity.There are often &nbsp;misconceptions about thefts and security breaches that happened on &nbsp;diverse exchanges and businesses. Although these events are unfortunate, &nbsp;none of them involve Bitcoin itself being hacked, nor imply inherent &nbsp;flaws in Bitcoin; just like a bank robbery doesn’t mean that the dollar &nbsp;is compromised. However, it is accurate to say that a complete set of &nbsp;good practices and intuitive security solutions is needed to give users &nbsp;better protection of their money, and to reduce the general risk of &nbsp;theft and loss. Over the course of the last few years, such security &nbsp;features have quickly developed, such as wallet encryption, offline &nbsp;wallets, hardware wallets, and multi-signature transactions.Could users collude against Bitcoin?It &nbsp;is not possible to change the Bitcoin protocol that easily. Any Bitcoin &nbsp;client that doesn’t comply with the same rules cannot enforce their own &nbsp;rules on other users. As per the current specification, double spending &nbsp;is not possible on the same block chain, and neither is spending &nbsp;bitcoins without a valid signature. Therefore, It is not possible to &nbsp;generate uncontrolled amounts of bitcoins out of thin air, spend other &nbsp;users’ funds, corrupt the network, or anything similar.However, &nbsp;powerful miners could arbitrarily choose to block or reverse recent &nbsp;transactions. A majority of users can also put pressure for some changes &nbsp;to be adopted. Because Bitcoin only works correctly with a complete &nbsp;consensus between all users, changing the protocol can be very difficult &nbsp;and requires an overwhelming majority of users to adopt the changes in &nbsp;such a way that remaining users have nearly no choice but to follow. As a &nbsp;general rule, it is hard to imagine why any Bitcoin user would choose &nbsp;to adopt any change that could compromise their own money.Is Bitcoin vulnerable to quantum computing?Yes, &nbsp;most systems relying on cryptography in general are, including &nbsp;traditional banking systems. However, quantum computers don’t yet exist &nbsp;and probably won’t for a while. In the event that quantum computing &nbsp;could be an imminent threat to Bitcoin, the protocol could be upgraded &nbsp;to use post-quantum algorithms. Given the importance that this update &nbsp;would have, it can be safely expected that it would be highly reviewed &nbsp;by developers and adopted by all Bitcoin users.What if I have more questions about Bitcoin?Three great places where you can get your questions answered are the BitcoinTalk Forum at <a href="http://bitcointalk.org/">BitcoinTalk.org</a>, the Bitcoin sub-reddit at <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoin">Reddit.com/r/bitcoin</a> and Bitcoin Stack Exchange at <a href="http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/">Bitcoin.StackExchange.com</a>.</p> <p><br></p> </html>

This is how Bitcoin works &nbsp;for most users.Behind the scenes, the Bitcoin network is sharing a &nbsp;public ledger called the \"block chain\". This ledger contains every &nbsp;transaction ever processed, allowing a user’s computer to verify the &nbsp;validity of each transaction. The authenticity of each transaction is &nbsp;protected by digital signatures corresponding to the sending addresses, &nbsp;allowing all users to have full control over sending bitcoins from their &nbsp;own Bitcoin addresses. In addition, anyone can process transactions &nbsp;using the computing power of specialized hardware and earn a reward in &nbsp;bitcoins for this service. This is often called \"mining\". To learn more &nbsp;about Bitcoin, you can consult the dedicated page and the original &nbsp;paper.Who created Bitcoin?Bitcoin &nbsp;is the first implementation of a concept called \"cryptocurrency\", which &nbsp;was first described in 1998 by Wei Dai on the cypherpunks mailing list, &nbsp;suggesting the idea of a new form of money that uses cryptography to &nbsp;control its creation and transactions, rather than a central authority. &nbsp;The first Bitcoin specification and proof of concept was published in &nbsp;2009 in a cryptography mailing list by Satoshi Nakamoto. Satoshi left &nbsp;the project in late 2010 without revealing much about himself. The &nbsp;community has since grown exponentially with many developers working on &nbsp;Bitcoin.Satoshi’s anonymity often raised unjustified concerns, &nbsp;many of which are linked to misunderstanding of the open-source nature &nbsp;of Bitcoin. The Bitcoin protocol and software are published openly and &nbsp;any developer around the world can review the code or make their own &nbsp;modified version of the Bitcoin software. Just like current developers, &nbsp;Satoshi’s influence was limited to the changes he made being adopted by &nbsp;others and therefore he did not control Bitcoin. As such, the identity &nbsp;of Bitcoin’s inventor is probably as relevant today as the identity of &nbsp;the person who invented paper.Who controls the Bitcoin network?Nobody &nbsp;owns the Bitcoin network much like no one owns the technology behind &nbsp;email. Bitcoin is controlled by all Bitcoin users around the world. &nbsp;While developers are improving the software, they can’t force a change &nbsp;in the Bitcoin protocol because all users are free to choose what &nbsp;software and version they use. In order to stay compatible with each &nbsp;other, all users need to use software complying with the same rules. &nbsp;Bitcoin can only work correctly with a complete consensus among all &nbsp;users. Therefore, all users and developers have a strong incentive to &nbsp;protect this consensus.Is Bitcoin really used by people?Yes. &nbsp;There is a growing number of businesses and individuals using Bitcoin. &nbsp;This includes brick and mortar businesses like restaurants, apartments, &nbsp;law firms, and popular online services such as Namecheap, WordPress, and &nbsp;Reddit. While Bitcoin remains a relatively new phenomenon, it is &nbsp;growing fast. At the end of August 2013, the value of all bitcoins in &nbsp;circulation exceeded US$ 1.5 billion with millions of dollars worth of &nbsp;bitcoins exchanged daily.How does one acquire bitcoins?</p>\n<ul>\n  <li>As payment for goods or services.</li>\n  <li>Purchase bitcoins at a Bitcoin exchange.</li>\n  <li>Exchange bitcoins with someone near you.</li>\n  <li>Earn bitcoins through competitive mining.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>While &nbsp;it may be possible to find individuals who wish to sell bitcoins in &nbsp;exchange for a credit card or PayPal payment, most exchanges do not &nbsp;allow funding via these payment methods. This is due to cases where &nbsp;someone buys bitcoins with PayPal, and then reverses their half of the &nbsp;transaction. This is commonly referred to as a chargeback.How difficult is it to make a Bitcoin payment?Bitcoin &nbsp;payments are easier to make than debit or credit card purchases, and &nbsp;can be received without a merchant account. Payments are made from a &nbsp;wallet application, either on your computer or smartphone, by entering &nbsp;the recipient’s address, the payment amount, and pressing send. To make &nbsp;it easier to enter a recipient’s address, many wallets can obtain the &nbsp;address by scanning a QR code or touching two phones together with NFC &nbsp;technology.What are the advantages of Bitcoin?</p>\n<ul>\n  <li>Payment &nbsp;freedom - It is possible to send and receive any amount of money &nbsp;instantly anywhere in the world at any time. No bank holidays. No &nbsp;borders. No imposed limits. Bitcoin allows its users to be in full &nbsp;control of their money.</li>\n  <li>Very low fees - Bitcoin payments are &nbsp;currently processed with either no fees or extremely small fees. Users &nbsp;may include fees with transactions to receive priority processing, which &nbsp;results in faster confirmation of transactions by the network. &nbsp;Additionally, merchant processors exist to assist merchants in &nbsp;processing transactions, converting bitcoins to fiat currency and &nbsp;depositing funds directly into merchants’ bank accounts daily. As these &nbsp;services are based on Bitcoin, they can be offered for much lower fees &nbsp;than with PayPal or credit card networks.</li>\n  <li>Fewer risks for &nbsp;merchants - Bitcoin transactions are secure, irreversible, and do not &nbsp;contain customers’ sensitive or &nbsp;personal information. This protects merchants from losses caused by &nbsp;fraud or fraudulent chargebacks, and there is no need for PCI &nbsp;compliance. Merchants can easily expand to new markets where either &nbsp;credit cards are not available or fraud rates are unacceptably high. The &nbsp;net results are lower fees, larger markets, and fewer administrative &nbsp;costs.</li>\n  <li>Security and control - Bitcoin users are in full control &nbsp;of their transactions; it is impossible for merchants to force unwanted &nbsp;or unnoticed charges as can happen with other payment methods. Bitcoin &nbsp;payments can be made without personal information tied to the &nbsp;transaction. This offers strong protection against identity theft. &nbsp;Bitcoin users can also protect their money with backup and encryption.</li>\n  <li>Transparent &nbsp;and neutral - All information concerning the Bitcoin money supply &nbsp;itself is readily available on the block chain for anybody to verify and &nbsp;use in real-time. No individual or organization can control or &nbsp;manipulate the Bitcoin protocol because it is cryptographically secure. &nbsp;This allows the core of Bitcoin to be trusted for being completely &nbsp;neutral, transparent and predictable.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>What are the disadvantages of Bitcoin?</p>\n<ul>\n  <li>Degree &nbsp;of acceptance - Many people are still unaware of Bitcoin. Every day, &nbsp;more businesses accept bitcoins because they want the advantages of &nbsp;doing so, but the list remains small and still needs to grow in order to &nbsp;benefit from network effects.</li>\n  <li>Volatility - The total value of &nbsp;bitcoins in circulation and the number of businesses using Bitcoin are &nbsp;still very small compared to what they could be. Therefore, relatively &nbsp;small events, trades, or business activities can significantly affect &nbsp;the price. In theory, this volatility will decrease as Bitcoin markets &nbsp;and the technology matures. Never before has the world seen a start-up &nbsp;currency, so it is truly difficult (and exciting) to imagine how it will &nbsp;play out.</li>\n  <li>Ongoing development - Bitcoin software is still in &nbsp;beta with many incomplete features in active development. New tools, &nbsp;features, and services are being developed to make Bitcoin more secure &nbsp;and accessible to the masses. Some of these are still not ready for &nbsp;everyone. Most Bitcoin businesses are new and still offer no insurance. &nbsp;In general, Bitcoin is still in the process of maturing.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Why do people trust Bitcoin?Much &nbsp;of the trust in Bitcoin comes from the fact that it requires no trust &nbsp;at all. Bitcoin is fully open-source and decentralized. This means that &nbsp;anyone has access to the entire source code at any time. Any developer &nbsp;in the world can therefore verify exactly how Bitcoin works. All &nbsp;transactions and bitcoins issued into existence can be transparently &nbsp;consulted in real-time by anyone. All payments can be made without &nbsp;reliance on a third party and the whole system is protected by heavily &nbsp;peer-reviewed cryptographic algorithms like those used for online &nbsp;banking. No organization or individual can control Bitcoin, and the &nbsp;network remains secure even if not all of its users can be trusted.Can I make money with Bitcoin?You &nbsp;should never expect to get rich with Bitcoin or any emerging &nbsp;technology. It is always important to be wary of anything that sounds &nbsp;too good to be true or disobeys basic economic rules.Bitcoin is a &nbsp;growing space of innovation and there are business opportunities that &nbsp;also include risks. There is no guarantee that Bitcoin will continue to &nbsp;grow even though it has developed at a very fast rate so far. Investing &nbsp;time and resources on anything related to Bitcoin requires &nbsp;entrepreneurship. There are various ways to make money with Bitcoin such &nbsp;as mining, speculation or running new businesses. All of these methods &nbsp;are competitive and there is no guarantee of profit. It is up to each &nbsp;individual to make a proper evaluation of the costs and the risks &nbsp;involved in any such project.Is Bitcoin fully virtual and immaterial?Bitcoin &nbsp;is as virtual as the credit cards and online banking networks people &nbsp;use everyday. Bitcoin can be used to pay online and in physical stores &nbsp;just like any other form of money. Bitcoins can also be exchanged in &nbsp;physical form such as the Casascius coins, but paying with a mobile &nbsp;phone usually remains more convenient. Bitcoin balances are stored in a &nbsp;large distributed network, and they cannot be fraudulently altered by &nbsp;anybody. In other words, Bitcoin users have exclusive control over their &nbsp;funds and bitcoins cannot vanish just because they are virtual.Is Bitcoin anonymous?Bitcoin &nbsp;is designed to allow its users to send and receive payments with an &nbsp;acceptable level of privacy as well as any other form of money. However, &nbsp;Bitcoin is not anonymous and cannot offer the same level of privacy as &nbsp;cash. The use of Bitcoin leaves extensive public records. Various &nbsp;mechanisms exist to protect users’ privacy, and more are in development. &nbsp;However, there is still work to be done before these features are used &nbsp;correctly by most Bitcoin users.Some concerns have been raised &nbsp;that private transactions could be used for illegal purposes with &nbsp;Bitcoin. However, it is worth noting that Bitcoin will undoubtedly be &nbsp;subjected to similar regulations that are already in place inside &nbsp;existing financial systems. Bitcoin cannot be more anonymous than cash &nbsp;and it is not likely to prevent criminal investigations from being &nbsp;conducted. Additionally, Bitcoin is also designed to prevent a large &nbsp;range of financial crimes.What happens when bitcoins are lost?When &nbsp;a user loses his wallet, it has the effect of removing money out of &nbsp;circulation. Lost bitcoins still remain in the block chain just like any &nbsp;other bitcoins. However, lost bitcoins remain dormant forever because &nbsp;there is no way for anybody to find the private key(s) that would allow &nbsp;them to be spent again. Because of the law of supply and demand, when &nbsp;fewer bitcoins are available, the ones that are left will be in higher &nbsp;demand and increase in value to compensate.Can Bitcoin scale to become a major payment network?The &nbsp;Bitcoin network can already process a much higher number of &nbsp;transactions per second than it does today. It is, however, not entirely &nbsp;ready to scale to the level of major credit card networks. Work is &nbsp;underway to lift current limitations, and future requirements are well &nbsp;known. Since inception, every aspect of the Bitcoin network has been in a &nbsp;continuous process of maturation, optimization, and specialization, and &nbsp;it should be expected to remain that way for some years to come. As &nbsp;traffic grows, more Bitcoin users may use lightweight clients, and full &nbsp;network nodes may become a more specialized service. For more details, &nbsp;see the Scalability page on the Wiki.Is Bitcoin legal?To &nbsp;the best of our knowledge, Bitcoin has not been made illegal by &nbsp;legislation in most jurisdictions. However, some jurisdictions (such as &nbsp;Argentina and Russia) severely restrict or ban foreign currencies. Other &nbsp;jurisdictions (such as Thailand) may limit the licensing of certain &nbsp;entities such as Bitcoin exchanges.Regulators from various &nbsp;jurisdictions are taking steps to provide individuals and businesses &nbsp;with rules on how to integrate this new technology with the formal, &nbsp;regulated financial system. For example, the Financial Crimes &nbsp;Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau in the United States Treasury &nbsp;Department, issued non-binding guidance on how it characterizes certain &nbsp;activities involving virtual currencies.Is Bitcoin useful for illegal activities?Bitcoin &nbsp;is money, and money has always been used both for legal and illegal &nbsp;purposes. Cash, credit cards and current banking systems widely surpass &nbsp;Bitcoin in terms of their use to finance crime. Bitcoin can bring &nbsp;significant innovation in payment systems and the benefits of such &nbsp;innovation are often considered to be far beyond their potential &nbsp;drawbacks.Bitcoin is designed to be a huge step forward in making &nbsp;money more secure and could also act as a significant protection &nbsp;against many forms of financial crime. For instance, bitcoins are &nbsp;completely impossible to counterfeit. Users are in full control of their &nbsp;payments and cannot receive unapproved charges such as with credit card &nbsp;fraud. Bitcoin transactions are irreversible and immune to fraudulent &nbsp;chargebacks. Bitcoin allows money to be secured against theft and loss &nbsp;using very strong and useful mechanisms such as backups, encryption, and &nbsp;multiple signatures.Some concerns have been raised that Bitcoin &nbsp;could be more attractive to criminals because it can be used to make &nbsp;private and irreversible payments. However, these features already exist &nbsp;with cash and wire transfer, which are widely used and &nbsp;well-established. The use of Bitcoin will undoubtedly be subjected to &nbsp;similar regulations that are already in place inside existing financial &nbsp;systems, and Bitcoin is not likely to prevent criminal investigations &nbsp;from being conducted. In general, it is common for important &nbsp;breakthroughs to be perceived as being controversial before their &nbsp;benefits are well understood. The Internet is a good example among many &nbsp;others to illustrate this.Can Bitcoin be regulated?The &nbsp;Bitcoin protocol itself cannot be modified without the cooperation of &nbsp;nearly all its users, who choose what software they use. Attempting to &nbsp;assign special rights to a local authority in the rules of the global &nbsp;Bitcoin network is not a practical possibility. Any rich organization &nbsp;could choose to invest in mining hardware to control half of the &nbsp;computing power of the network and become able to block or reverse &nbsp;recent transactions. However, there is no guarantee that they could &nbsp;retain this power since this requires to invest as much than all other &nbsp;miners in the world.It is however possible to regulate the use of &nbsp;Bitcoin in a similar way to any other instrument. Just like the dollar, &nbsp;Bitcoin can be used for a wide variety of purposes, some of which can &nbsp;be considered legitimate or not as per each jurisdiction’s laws. In this &nbsp;regard, Bitcoin is no different than any other tool or resource and can &nbsp;be subjected to different regulations in each country. Bitcoin use &nbsp;could also be made difficult by restrictive regulations, in which case &nbsp;it is hard to determine what percentage of users would keep using the &nbsp;technology. A government that chooses to ban Bitcoin would prevent &nbsp;domestic businesses and markets from developing, shifting innovation to &nbsp;other countries. The challenge for regulators, as always, is to develop &nbsp;efficient solutions while not impairing the growth of new emerging &nbsp;markets and businesses.What about Bitcoin and taxes?Bitcoin &nbsp;is not a fiat currency with legal tender status in any jurisdiction, &nbsp;but often tax liability accrues regardless of the medium used. There is a &nbsp;wide variety of legislation in many different jurisdictions which could &nbsp;cause income, sales, payroll, capital gains, or some other form of tax &nbsp;liability to arise with Bitcoin.What about Bitcoin and consumer protection?Bitcoin &nbsp;is freeing people to transact on their own terms. Each user can send &nbsp;and receive payments in a similar way to cash but they can also take &nbsp;part in more complex contracts. Multiple signatures allow a transaction &nbsp;to be accepted by the network only if a certain number of a defined &nbsp;group of persons agree to sign the transaction. This allows innovative &nbsp;dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. Such services &nbsp;could allow a third party to approve or reject a transaction in case of &nbsp;disagreement between the other parties without having control on their &nbsp;money. As opposed to cash and other payment methods, Bitcoin always &nbsp;leaves a public proof that a transaction did take place, which can &nbsp;potentially be used in a recourse against businesses with fraudulent &nbsp;practices.It is also worth noting that while merchants usually &nbsp;depend on their public reputation to remain in business and pay their &nbsp;employees, they don’t have access to the same level of information when &nbsp;dealing with new consumers. The way Bitcoin works allows both &nbsp;individuals and businesses to be protected against fraudulent &nbsp;chargebacks while giving the choice to the consumer to ask for more &nbsp;protection when they are not willing to trust a particular merchant.How are bitcoins created?New &nbsp;bitcoins are generated by a competitive and decentralized process &nbsp;called \"mining\". This process involves that individuals are rewarded by &nbsp;the network for their services. Bitcoin miners are processing &nbsp;transactions and securing the network using specialized hardware and are &nbsp;collecting new bitcoins in exchange.The Bitcoin protocol is &nbsp;designed in such a way that new bitcoins are created at a fixed rate. &nbsp;This makes Bitcoin mining a very competitive business. When more miners &nbsp;join the network, it becomes increasingly difficult to make a profit and &nbsp;miners must seek efficiency to cut their operating costs. No central &nbsp;authority or developer has any power to control or manipulate the system &nbsp;to increase their profits. Every Bitcoin node in the world will reject &nbsp;anything that does not comply with the rules it expects the system to &nbsp;follow.Bitcoins are created at a decreasing and predictable rate. &nbsp;The number of new bitcoins created each year is automatically halved &nbsp;over time until bitcoin issuance halts completely with a total of 21 &nbsp;million bitcoins in existence. At this point, Bitcoin miners will &nbsp;probably be supported exclusively by numerous small transaction fees.Why do bitcoins have value?Bitcoins &nbsp;have value because they are useful as a form of money. Bitcoin has the &nbsp;characteristics of money (durability, portability, fungibility, &nbsp;scarcity, divisibility, and recognizability) based on the properties of &nbsp;mathematics rather than relying on physical properties (like gold and &nbsp;silver) or trust in central authorities (like fiat currencies). In &nbsp;short, Bitcoin is backed by mathematics. With these attributes, all that &nbsp;is required for a form of money to hold value is trust and adoption. In &nbsp;the case of Bitcoin, this can be measured by its growing base of users, &nbsp;merchants, and startups. As with all currency, bitcoin’s value comes &nbsp;only and directly from people willing to accept them as payment.What determines bitcoin’s price?The &nbsp;price of a bitcoin is determined by supply and demand. When demand for &nbsp;bitcoins increases, the price increases, and when demand falls, the &nbsp;price falls. There is only a limited number of bitcoins in circulation &nbsp;and new bitcoins are created at a predictable and decreasing rate, which &nbsp;means that demand must follow this level of inflation to keep the price &nbsp;stable. Because Bitcoin is still a relatively small market compared to &nbsp;what it could be, it doesn’t take significant amounts of money to move &nbsp;the market price up or down, and thus the price of a bitcoin is still &nbsp;very volatile.Can bitcoins become worthless?Yes. &nbsp;History is littered with currencies that failed and are no longer used, &nbsp;such as the German Mark during the Weimar Republic and, more recently, &nbsp;the Zimbabwean dollar. Although previous currency failures were &nbsp;typically due to hyperinflation of a kind that Bitcoin makes impossible, &nbsp;there is always potential for technical failures, competing currencies, &nbsp;political issues and so on. As a basic rule of thumb, no currency &nbsp;should be considered absolutely safe from failures or hard times. &nbsp;Bitcoin has proven reliable for years since its inception and there is a &nbsp;lot of potential for Bitcoin to continue to grow. However, no one is in &nbsp;a position to predict what the future will be for Bitcoin.Is Bitcoin a bubble?A &nbsp;fast rise in price does not constitute a bubble. An artificial &nbsp;over-valuation that will lead to a sudden downward correction &nbsp;constitutes a bubble. Choices based on individual human action by &nbsp;hundreds of thousands of market participants is the cause for bitcoin’s &nbsp;price to fluctuate as the market seeks price discovery. Reasons for &nbsp;changes in sentiment may include a loss of confidence in Bitcoin, a &nbsp;large difference between value and price not based on the fundamentals &nbsp;of the Bitcoin economy, increased press coverage stimulating speculative &nbsp;demand, fear of uncertainty, and old-fashioned irrational exuberance &nbsp;and greed.Is Bitcoin a Ponzi scheme?A &nbsp;Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to &nbsp;its investors from their own money, or the money paid by subsequent &nbsp;investors, instead of from profit earned by the individuals running the &nbsp;business. Ponzi schemes are designed to collapse at the expense of the &nbsp;last investors when there is not enough new participants.Bitcoin &nbsp;is a free software project with no central authority. Consequently, no &nbsp;one is in a position to make fraudulent representations about investment &nbsp;returns. Like other major currencies such as gold, United States &nbsp;dollar, euro, yen, etc. there is no guaranteed purchasing power and the &nbsp;exchange rate floats freely. This leads to volatility where owners of &nbsp;bitcoins can unpredictably make or lose money. Beyond speculation, &nbsp;Bitcoin is also a payment system with useful and competitive attributes &nbsp;that are being used by thousands of users and businesses.Doesn’t Bitcoin unfairly benefit early adopters?Some &nbsp;early adopters have large numbers of bitcoins because they took risks &nbsp;and invested time and resources in an unproven technology that was &nbsp;hardly used by anyone and that was much harder to secure properly. Many &nbsp;early adopters spent large numbers of bitcoins quite a few times before &nbsp;they became valuable or bought only small amounts and didn’t make huge &nbsp;gains. There is no guarantee that the price of a bitcoin will increase &nbsp;or drop. This is very similar to investing in an early startup that can &nbsp;either gain value through its usefulness and popularity, or just never &nbsp;break through. Bitcoin is still in its infancy, and it has been designed &nbsp;with a very long-term view; it is hard to imagine how it could be less &nbsp;biased towards early adopters, and today’s users may or may not be the &nbsp;early adopters of tomorrow.Won’t the finite amount of bitcoins be a limitation?Bitcoin &nbsp;is unique in that only 21 million bitcoins will ever be created. &nbsp;However, this will never be a limitation because transactions can be &nbsp;denominated in smaller sub-units of a bitcoin, such as bits - there are &nbsp;1,000,000 bits in 1 bitcoin. Bitcoins can be divided up to 8 decimal &nbsp;places (0.000 000 01) and potentially even smaller units if that is ever &nbsp;required in the future as the average transaction size decreases.Won’t Bitcoin fall in a deflationary spiral?The &nbsp;deflationary spiral theory says that if prices are expected to fall, &nbsp;people will move purchases into the future in order to benefit from the &nbsp;lower prices. That fall in demand will in turn cause merchants to lower &nbsp;their prices to try and stimulate demand, making the problem worse and &nbsp;leading to an economic depression.Although this theory is a &nbsp;popular way to justify inflation amongst central bankers, it does not &nbsp;appear to always hold true and is considered controversial amongst &nbsp;economists. Consumer electronics is one example of a market where prices &nbsp;constantly fall but which is not in depression. Similarly, the value of &nbsp;bitcoins has risen over time and yet the size of the Bitcoin economy &nbsp;has also grown dramatically along with it. Because both the value of the &nbsp;currency and the size of its economy started at zero in 2009, Bitcoin &nbsp;is a counterexample to the theory showing that it must sometimes be &nbsp;wrong.Notwithstanding this, Bitcoin is not designed to be a &nbsp;deflationary currency. It is more accurate to say Bitcoin is intended to &nbsp;inflate in its early years, and become stable in its later years. The &nbsp;only time the quantity of bitcoins in circulation will drop is if people &nbsp;carelessly lose their wallets by failing to make backups. With a stable &nbsp;monetary base and a stable economy, the value of the currency should &nbsp;remain the same.Isn’t speculation and volatility a problem for Bitcoin?This &nbsp;is a chicken and egg situation. For bitcoin’s price to stabilize, a &nbsp;large scale economy needs to develop with more businesses and users. For &nbsp;a large scale economy to develop, businesses and users will seek for &nbsp;price stability.Fortunately, volatility does not affect the main &nbsp;benefits of Bitcoin as a payment system to transfer money from point A &nbsp;to point B. It is possible for businesses to convert bitcoin payments to &nbsp;their local currency instantly, allowing them to profit from the &nbsp;advantages of Bitcoin without being subjected to price fluctuations. &nbsp;Since Bitcoin offers many useful and unique features and properties, &nbsp;many users choose to use Bitcoin. With such solutions and incentives, it &nbsp;is possible that Bitcoin will mature and develop to a degree where &nbsp;price volatility will become limited.What if someone bought up all the existing bitcoins?Only &nbsp;a fraction of bitcoins issued to date are found on the exchange markets &nbsp;for sale. Bitcoin markets are competitive, meaning the price of a &nbsp;bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Additionally, &nbsp;new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Therefore &nbsp;even the most determined buyer could not buy all the bitcoins in &nbsp;existence. This situation isn’t to suggest, however, that the markets &nbsp;aren’t vulnerable to price manipulation; it still doesn’t take &nbsp;significant amounts of money to move the market price up or down, and &nbsp;thus Bitcoin remains a volatile asset thus far.What if someone creates a better digital currency?That &nbsp;can happen. For now, Bitcoin remains by far the most popular &nbsp;decentralized virtual currency, but there can be no guarantee that it &nbsp;will retain that position. There is already a set of alternative &nbsp;currencies inspired by Bitcoin. It is however probably correct to assume &nbsp;that significant improvements would be required for a new currency to &nbsp;overtake Bitcoin in terms of established market, even though this &nbsp;remains unpredictable. Bitcoin could also conceivably adopt improvements &nbsp;of a competing currency so long as it doesn’t change fundamental parts &nbsp;of the protocol.What is Bitcoin mining?Mining &nbsp;is the process of spending computing power to process transactions, &nbsp;secure the network, and keep everyone in the system synchronized &nbsp;together. It can be perceived like the Bitcoin data center except that &nbsp;it has been designed to be fully decentralized with miners operating in &nbsp;all countries and no individual having control over the network. This &nbsp;process is referred to as \"mining\" as an analogy to gold mining because &nbsp;it is also a temporary mechanism used to issue new bitcoins. Unlike gold &nbsp;mining, however, Bitcoin mining provides a reward in exchange for &nbsp;useful services required to operate a secure payment network. Mining &nbsp;will still be required after the last bitcoin is issued.How does Bitcoin mining work?Anybody &nbsp;can become a Bitcoin miner by running software with specialized &nbsp;hardware. Mining software listens for transactions broadcast through the &nbsp;peer-to-peer network and performs appropriate tasks to process and &nbsp;confirm these transactions. Bitcoin miners perform this work because &nbsp;they can earn transaction fees paid by users for faster transaction &nbsp;processing, and newly created bitcoins issued into existence according &nbsp;to a fixed formula.For new transactions to be confirmed, they &nbsp;need to be included in a block along with a mathematical proof of work. &nbsp;Such proofs are very hard to generate because there is no way to create &nbsp;them other than by trying billions of calculations per second. This &nbsp;requires miners to perform these calculations before their blocks are &nbsp;accepted by the network and before they are rewarded. As more people &nbsp;start to mine, the difficulty of finding valid blocks is automatically &nbsp;increased by the network to ensure that the average time to find a block &nbsp;remains equal to 10 minutes. As a result, mining is a very competitive &nbsp;business where no individual miner can control what is included in the &nbsp;block chain.The proof of work is also designed to depend on the &nbsp;previous block to force a chronological order in the block chain. This &nbsp;makes it exponentially difficult to reverse previous transactions &nbsp;because this requires the recalculation of the proofs of work of all the &nbsp;subsequent blocks. When two blocks are found at the same time, miners &nbsp;work on the first block they receive and switch to the longest chain of &nbsp;blocks as soon as the next block is found. This allows mining to secure &nbsp;and maintain a global consensus based on processing power.Bitcoin &nbsp;miners are neither able to cheat by increasing their own reward nor &nbsp;process fraudulent transactions that could corrupt the Bitcoin network &nbsp;because all Bitcoin nodes would reject any block that contains invalid &nbsp;data as per the rules of the Bitcoin protocol. Consequently, the network &nbsp;remains secure even if not all Bitcoin miners can be trusted.Isn’t Bitcoin mining a waste of energy?Spending &nbsp;energy to secure and operate a payment system is hardly a waste. Like &nbsp;any other payment service, the use of Bitcoin entails processing costs. &nbsp;Services necessary for the operation of currently widespread monetary &nbsp;systems, such as banks, credit cards, and armored vehicles, also use a &nbsp;lot of energy. Although unlike Bitcoin, their total energy consumption &nbsp;is not transparent and cannot be as easily measured.Bitcoin &nbsp;mining has been designed to become more optimized over time with &nbsp;specialized hardware consuming less energy, and the operating costs of &nbsp;mining should continue to be proportional to demand. When Bitcoin mining &nbsp;becomes too competitive and less profitable, some miners choose to stop &nbsp;their activities. Furthermore, all energy expended mining is eventually &nbsp;transformed into heat, and the most profitable miners will be those who &nbsp;have put this heat to good use. An optimally efficient mining network &nbsp;is one that isn’t actually consuming any extra energy. While this is an &nbsp;ideal, the economics of mining are such that miners individually strive &nbsp;toward it.How does mining help secure Bitcoin?Mining &nbsp;creates the equivalent of a competitive lottery that makes it very &nbsp;difficult for anyone to consecutively add new blocks of transactions &nbsp;into the block chain. This protects the neutrality of the network by &nbsp;preventing any individual from gaining the power to block certain &nbsp;transactions. This also prevents any individual from replacing parts of &nbsp;the block chain to roll back their own spends, which could be used to &nbsp;defraud other users. Mining makes it exponentially more difficult to &nbsp;reverse a past transaction by requiring the rewriting of all blocks &nbsp;following this transaction.What do I need to start mining?In &nbsp;the early days of Bitcoin, anyone could find a new block using their &nbsp;computer’s CPU. As more and more people started mining, the difficulty &nbsp;of finding new blocks increased greatly to the point where the only &nbsp;cost-effective method of mining today is using specialized hardware. You &nbsp;can visit BitcoinMining.com for more information.Is Bitcoin secure?The &nbsp;Bitcoin technology - the protocol and the cryptography - has a strong &nbsp;security track record, and the Bitcoin network is probably the biggest &nbsp;distributed computing project in the world. Bitcoin’s most common &nbsp;vulnerability is in user error. Bitcoin wallet files that store the &nbsp;necessary private keys can be accidentally deleted, lost or stolen. This &nbsp;is pretty similar to physical cash stored in a digital form. &nbsp;Fortunately, users can employ sound security practices to protect their &nbsp;money or use service providers that offer good levels of security and &nbsp;insurance against theft or loss.Hasn’t Bitcoin been hacked in the past?The &nbsp;rules of the protocol and the cryptography used for Bitcoin are still &nbsp;working years after its inception, which is a good indication that the &nbsp;concept is well designed. However, security flaws have been found and &nbsp;fixed over time in various software implementations. Like any other form &nbsp;of software, the security of Bitcoin software depends on the speed with &nbsp;which problems are found and fixed. The more such issues are &nbsp;discovered, the more Bitcoin is gaining maturity.There are often &nbsp;misconceptions about thefts and security breaches that happened on &nbsp;diverse exchanges and businesses. Although these events are unfortunate, &nbsp;none of them involve Bitcoin itself being hacked, nor imply inherent &nbsp;flaws in Bitcoin; just like a bank robbery doesn’t mean that the dollar &nbsp;is compromised. However, it is accurate to say that a complete set of &nbsp;good practices and intuitive security solutions is needed to give users &nbsp;better protection of their money, and to reduce the general risk of &nbsp;theft and loss. Over the course of the last few years, such security &nbsp;features have quickly developed, such as wallet encryption, offline &nbsp;wallets, hardware wallets, and multi-signature transactions.Could users collude against Bitcoin?It &nbsp;is not possible to change the Bitcoin protocol that easily. Any Bitcoin &nbsp;client that doesn’t comply with the same rules cannot enforce their own &nbsp;rules on other users. As per the current specification, double spending &nbsp;is not possible on the same block chain, and neither is spending &nbsp;bitcoins without a valid signature. Therefore, It is not possible to &nbsp;generate uncontrolled amounts of bitcoins out of thin air, spend other &nbsp;users’ funds, corrupt the network, or anything similar.However, &nbsp;powerful miners could arbitrarily choose to block or reverse recent &nbsp;transactions. A majority of users can also put pressure for some changes &nbsp;to be adopted. Because Bitcoin only works correctly with a complete &nbsp;consensus between all users, changing the protocol can be very difficult &nbsp;and requires an overwhelming majority of users to adopt the changes in &nbsp;such a way that remaining users have nearly no choice but to follow. As a &nbsp;general rule, it is hard to imagine why any Bitcoin user would choose &nbsp;to adopt any change that could compromise their own money.Is Bitcoin vulnerable to quantum computing?Yes, &nbsp;most systems relying on cryptography in general are, including &nbsp;traditional banking systems. However, quantum computers don’t yet exist &nbsp;and probably won’t for a while. In the event that quantum computing &nbsp;could be an imminent threat to Bitcoin, the protocol could be upgraded &nbsp;to use post-quantum algorithms. Given the importance that this update &nbsp;would have, it can be safely expected that it would be highly reviewed &nbsp;by developers and adopted by all Bitcoin users.What if I have more questions about Bitcoin?Three great places where you can get your questions answered are the BitcoinTalk Forum at <a href=\"http://bitcointalk.org/\">BitcoinTalk.org</a>, the Bitcoin sub-reddit at <a href=\"http://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoin\">Reddit.com/r/bitcoin</a> and Bitcoin Stack Exchange at <a href=\"http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/\">Bitcoin.StackExchange.com</a>.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",
