For many years, people did not have easy access to digital currency. The typical person could get money online from a random source. Bitcoin changed all of that. Bitcoin is the first decentralized digital currency. Bitcoin is an invisible virtual form of currency. It is only used online and it is an alternative form of money for people that are good with digital currency. It is considered gold for nerds. How could Bitcoin be like gold? It is very similar to gold because no central bank can control this digital currency. The government is not able to print more currency. Gold is a little different than Bitcoin because you have to use your mind to unravel the Bitcoin and not use shovels. Math geniuses use computers to solve complex math problems to earn Bitcoins. If they are able to solve the math problems then they succeed and get a good amount of Bitcoins. Even if someone solves all the math problems, they cannot get all the Bitcoins.

Bitcoins are being exchanged on the open market where they can be sold or bought for an average rate. If people decide to buy Bitcoins, then they will be charged a fee for the exchange. ATMs are set up where computer users can trade Bitcoins for cash for some sort of fee. Bitcoin is different from an e-money method like PayPal through their security and anonymity methods.
