A Simple Question Deserves A Simple Answer.

The Blockchain cryptographically secures the data held on a blockchain so that it is immutable, transferable and hackerproof. The blockchain is the real technology here and is behind every successful ICO. Bitcoin is just the first mover and since you can only receive and send BTC, it really only has value as a form of "digital gold". It would be wise to invest in Bitcoin to benefit from the rise of cryptocurrencies.

اهلا صديقي. أشجعك على مشاركة هذا الدليل مع هؤلاء الموجودين في مجتمعك. يجب علينا تثقيف أولئك الذين هم غير المصنفون وقد تكون قادرة على الاستفادة من blockchain و cryptocurrencies.

تعتبر LocalBitcoins نقطة انطلاق رائعة ، وبدأت BitOasis للتو في شمال أفريقيا والشرق الأوسط من خلال محفظة iOS و Android ، لذا أعتقد أنه سيكون من الضروري بناء المزيد من التقنيات حتى يتمكن الناس من الوصول إلى Bitcoin في جميع أنحاء الإمارات العربية المتحدة.

If Universities are gearing up to accept Bitcoin for tuition then it sure seems like Bitcoin is only going to grow in value. The Blockchain is really here to stay, so this is a good sign for Bitcoin as a store of value.

Only time will tell to see which cryptocurrency becomes the new form of cash, along with all the other interesting utilities we can see out of the Blockchain fundamental technology.

The Bitcoin price is not random. There are a few factors that play a role.

The supply and demand of Bitcoin is one. Big whales can come in and purchase a large amount and hold them indefinitely. Also, the current price of the fiat dollar is another one that has nothing to do with Bitcoin's value itself, but can affect the price.

Lastly, the media can be a manipulator of demand and thus drive up or crash the price.

For all those living in Dubai and the greater Middle East, I literally just completed my guide to buying and investing Bitcoins in the UAE.

1. Regal Assets
2. LocalBitcoins
3. BitOasis

India is really missing out on the Blockchain and Bitcoin investing. 

Holding is good as long as you know the utility of the coin. Something like Bitcoin depends on awareness and the number of users. As long as you can buy and sell Bitcoin, it will be used in commerce worldwide. This will only grow in the future.

Other coins like Ethereum and NEO are more complex in that you need to understand all of its functions before the value can be accurately defined.

For beginners, I would start with Bitcoin or Litecoin just to get to know the Blockchain and how sending cryptocurrency works.

Bitcoin is built on top of the Blockchain.

The blockchain uses cryptography to keep data secure and unduplicable. Each BTC you own is unique thanks to the blockchain.

LocalBitcoins, Gemini, Kraken, and Coinbase have been dependable for Fiat withdrawals.

This is excellent news as I was just visiting South Korea! Seoul is one of the most technologically sound cities I've seen with dozens of high rises and technology companies.

Crypto Exchanges being regulated in South Korea also means good things for companies like Samsung that are working with Ethereum. This is huge!

+1 for Crypto

I would store it on a Hardware wallet such as a Nano Ledger S or Trezor. 

If you want to buy bitcoin in the Middle East there are a few options. I recommend these three:

• Regal Assets
• LocalBitcoins
• BitOasis

Each one of them is good for different investors. Read more about it here.

Coinbase is an excellent option for purchasing Bitcoins among other cryptocurrencies. I have been using their app for years now and it is one of the easiest ways to buy bitcoin around. I usually use Gemini to purchase BTC, but if I am on the go I will purchase BTC on my iPhone using the Coinbase app (my review here).

If you are worried about safety, the best thing to do - as with any exchange, is to send your crypto to an offline or hardware wallet. This way you will have access to your keys at all times, and also retain peace of mind.

If you can exchange Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and other cryptocurrencies between Fiat currency and use Coinbase as a medium of exchange to do it, then I think Coinbase has a HUGE future in store.   Only if cryptocurrency disappears as a whole will Coinbase be a fluke. There are way too many Angel Investors and Venture Capitalists backing Coinbase in San Francisco that I highly doubt they are not able to foresee trends.

Learn more about Coinbase before you pass judgment. Here is an excellent review that covers most points:

Changelly is one of the largest cryptocurrency exchange platforms on the Internet. It has an extremely simple and intuitive interface which makes it easy for first-time comers to use.

Here are some benefits:

• The platform has over 90+ available cryptocurrencies to choose from including Bitcoin and Ethereum.
• You can buy Bitcoin with credit card
• A reasonable transaction fee of 0.5%
• MinerGate security

If Bitcoin is a great investment, then what are the future prospects for Litecoin?

Here are a few fun facts about Litecoin:

• Used primarily as a store of value
• There will only be 84 million Litecoins in existence compared to 21 million Bitcoins.
• Litecoin transaction speeds are 4x faster than Bitcoin
• Litecoin is Silver where Bitcoin is Gold

On top of this, both the Lightning Network and LitePay are close to releasing for the general public. This will make Litecoin easier to use for the average person, especially when it comes to everyday transactions such as buying coffee.

Ever wondered if you could buy some Gold with your Bitcoins?

The cool thing about Bitcoin is that it is similar to Gold in terms of intrinsic value and usage as a medium of exchange between Fiat currency. Some people like to carry gold while others want cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. There are actually places where one can go and buy Gold with their Bitcoins and vice-versa. Here are just a few sites that will allow you to purchase Gold with Bitcoin.

• Vaultoro
• GoldSilver.com
• GoldMoney
