Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer digital currency. Peer-to-peer (P2P) means that there is no central authority to issue new money or keep track of transactions. Instead, these tasks are managed collectively by the nodes of the network. Advantages:
Bitcoins can be sent easily through the Internet, without having to trust middlemen.
Transactions are designed to be computationally prohibitive to reverse.
Be safe from instability caused by fractional reserve banking and central banks. The limited inflation of the Bitcoin system?s money supply is distributed evenly (by CPU power) throughout the network, not monopolized by banks. |
Value has bounced from $6 USD to $8 USD and back to to $6 then to $8. That's stable??? I's a game of Musical Chairs. True, I kick myself for not buying at $.08 USD, but in Musical Chairs, you never know when the game will end. Also with so few market makers, are you sure it's not a few manipulating a market??
