Ever considered using Bitcoin
Where how and why Bitcoin ( investing , using , store of wealth ) wallets and security .
Ive been using bitcoin now for 2 years and slowly building up the amount of coins i own .
Now im no expert at this or investing so do you own research there is no such thing as a sure bet
and learning is the best way to avoid financial stress .
Ok so where do you buy bitcoin from in the UK , i tried many sites to begin with and even lost some money early on , i looked searched for a company with at least 2-4 years operating experience and
a good record with good chat or support access .
2-4 years and you know they have the staff and site to operate and handle most situations and that they are established
good record is obvious and chat support give peace of mind , saying that i joined 4 or 5 companies till i found the best , and they are
Coin Corner open since 2014 , now this company only currently buy and sell bitcoins which is a pain as i like other altcoins too but its easy to send your bit coins to an exchange and trade for other altcoins as you wish so its only a minor issue imo .
and at least you know Coin corner is not over stretching itself buy trying to operate in all coins and is expert and reliable in Bitcoin .
So how do you go about buying bit coin why and what is it .
Basically its digital currency bitcoin is the first and largest market cap of these and so far has passed every test thrown at it and recovered to be now very valuable .
it is very early in it adoption and only a fraction of the worlds population have a bitcoin account meaning there is the potential for massive growth .
why would you buy it , its still early so may go up 10x 100x you never now , its a limited digital (21 million bitcoin but can be divisible ) currency meaning our politicians cannot print any and inflate it away .
its a good store of wealth as compared to money / cash with inflation always destroying its value when you look at prices today compared to early last century you can see the destruction done to our
cash .
it is a currency and is accepted widely online and more and more in the high street .
there are many other positives but like i say im not an expert these are the reasons i bought , you may find others .
are there negatives , yes , it can go down in value as with all investments you need to take educated risks and compared to cash imo its a winner .
its digital and open to attacks , these have been attempted some succeded but over time bitcoin has grown stronger .
there may be other issues but i believe the positives out way the risk .
I have a lot ( to me but nothing major ) of money in bitcoin and some other altcoins
i also have silver and gold as well so diversify as they always say .
I dont touch stocks ( although some make a lot of money via stocks ) and shed cash as soon as possible .

depositing is easy too you can withdraw from bank or credit card with netseller and sepa as 2 alternative payment types .
Bank transfer is free but takes 2 days to clear , you need to be able to set up payments in your
bank as well but all information is given.
credit - debit card payments are limited to begin with starting at £50 with 2 transactions daily only and also a massive 2.50 per transaction fee which at £50 a time soon mounts . This is due to the large amount of fraud directed at these companies at the minute so you cannot blame them from wanting bank transfer for safety .

Good points in this article. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The decision to buy a coin should be based on real analysis of the coin. I found that people keep buying coins without have any knowledge of them. This is considered high risk. I found this great website: https://www.coincheckup.com Since I use this site I make so much less basic investment mistakes.
