The economy is collapsing, and people are looking for economical protection. They are using their dollars, Euros, and other kinds of Fiat to buy Bitcoin! There are even Bitcoin ATMs, where users can buy Bitcoin using cash or credit.
Cryptocurrency wallets or Bitcoin Wallets facilitate the transactions. The wallet is used to transfer the value from one public address to another. The transactions and balances are recorded on the digital public ledger, known as the blockchain.
Digital money, whether Bitcoin or other cryptos have a varying price, and they do not have legal protection like credit card transactions, which is one reason why several people display caution about Bitcoin and crypto.
Warren Buffet called Bitcoin Value as unstable and stated that Bitcoin is a gambling device. The fact that there is nothing to support Bitcoin leaves it without any underlying rate for return. Many people continue to believe there is no support for Bitcoin.
Sydney Ifergan further tweeted: “Perhaps, the fact that a majority of the people do not want to pay a high cost for intermediaries is a major supporting factor for Bitcoin. Privacy loving people are the support for Bitcoin. People are the value system making Bitcoin big.”
The value for anything comes from people having a need related to it. With Bitcoin, people can get their need for transacting without intermediaries, made into a reality. This is indeed a value delivery by Bitcoin, and the recipients are happy and are willing to get it and use it. The system has to evolve.
Some have advised avoiding Bitcoin like the plague. However, many people are plugging in to use it. A significant ecosystem has evolved from Bitcoin.
While there are people who support the service facilitated by Bitcoin, the sustainability of Bitcoin is the common matter of concern. It is related to hash rate difficulty, power consumption, power cost, block reward, and the exchange rates of BTC to USD.
The processing power of the network should be forever sustained. High powered application-specific integrated circuits are essential. Miners do not want to end up in the red by paying more for electricity costs to solve the problem and eventually getting less in return. Efficient devices should be used to spend less energy per block.
Before we can decide if we need Bitcoin or not, a whole bunch of alternative cryptos has already arrived, and each of them servicing different use cases. And at present, there are more than 25 million people worldwide, silently keeping the Bitcoin.
