Bitcoin, according to at least twenty analysts, journalists and other “experts”, is either doomed, dying or dead. It has failed, they say, and has no future. In fact, since around 2011, it has died 249 times.
Yet the Bitcoin Blockchain doesn’t know this. It is quietly and consistently collecting, compiling, and verifying transactions in its ledger, creating new blocks every ten minutes or so, practically non-stop. It has an uptime of 99.992044937 % since its inception in January 3rd, 2009, to be exact.
By the time I finish this article, it would have issued new bitcoins as a reward to the miners who added the latest block, just as it has done since 2009 without fail.
Ten minutes after the price of Bitcoin “crashed” to $8,500 (as of this writing), it also added a new block to the chain and it will keep doing so until, well, until it doesn’t. Transactions were made, bitcoins were sent, bitcoins were received.
The Blockchain doesn’t care. There is no plug to pull. It has no feelings. But every ten minutes, it takes a step forward. Every ten minutes, it increases its value and the strength of its network. No person or institution can stop this. Every ten minutes, it trudges forward. Every ten minutes, the ledger is verified and updated. It does what it set out to do, no more, no less.
As Bitcoin and the Blockchain moves forward, so does the industry behind it. Thousands of developers, entrepreneurs, investors, and users are building it as I write this. Transactions, hash rate, price, users, wallets, exchanges, developments — on all of these fronts, Bitcoin software continues to accelerate. Lightning, Segwit, Schnorr, TumbleBit, MimbleWimble, and more are being developed by the best engineers in the world to make the network scaleable for global commerce.
The Bitcoin Blockchain doesn’t care about the price of a Bitcoin or what the media says about it— there is work to do now, and every ten minutes thereafter, for as long as it is running. Until it actually stops, then it hasn’t. It just keeps moving forward, one block at a time.

Ledger was founded in 2015 in France. The company has since gained substantial traction in the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency sphere and has grown to be a worthy competitor to SatoshiLabs (the creators of TREZOR). TREZOR, on the other hand, has been on TREZOR on the other hand recently announced that they have partnered with MyEtherWallet to support Ethereum on their device as well. Other currencies supported through TREZOR are Dash, Zcash and Litecoin (via Electrum LTC market since 2014.

The very nature of Bitcoin and part of its appeal is that it does not feel volatility spikes caused by real world tension and worry. Building tension between nuclear superpowers spooks many assets and stocks but has had little effect on Bitcoin as its value actually rose slightly while traditional markets fell.

It is safe to say that not everybody knows about bitcoins and so the better way to spread the word is through television advertisements! It sounds very interesting but we know that when people are watching shows and the commercial is on, it’s time for them to also go to the bathroom, get more popcorn, everything else and what not. No matter how wonderful the ad may be, if people would not pay attention to it, it’s useless.

Bitcoin is useful for criminals and people involved with them. So far, it’s not useful for much more other than that. The effect of blockchain computing is similar to the internet’s effect on traditional computer networks. Where pre-internet networks had a central hub with spokes that communicated only through the hub, the internet allows every node on a network to communicate directly with every other node. That change is profound.

Mining is the process of spending computing power to process transactions, secure the network, and keeps everyone in the system synchronized together. It can be perceived like the Bitcoin data center except that it has been designed to be fully decentralized with miners operating in all countries and no individual having control over the network.

Storing bitcoins on a USB stick is not as straight forward as storing regular data. Bitcoin private keys are secret codes and storing them on a regular USB stick leaves them at risk of theft if someone were to physically discover the USB. Luckily, entrepreneurs have created unique solutions that allow Bitcoin users to store coins on USB sticks or similar devices. The rest of this post will run through your options for storing bitcoins on these devices.

Since the Bitcoin creation in 2009, the price of this virtual currency remained quite stable until January 2013, reaching a maximum value of approximately 20 U.S. dollars. Afterwards a monthly price growth was observed until October 2013 when the price reached 198 U.S. dollars. This nearly tenfold increase in Bitcoin value proved to be insignificant in comparison to the price rally in November 2013, when the threshold of 1,100 U.S. dollars per coin was broken. After a period of downtrend which followed, Bitcoin price reached 1,349.19 U.S. dollars in April 2017.

Investing, on the other hand, does not have those hard-and-fast rules. A lot depends on your preferences. Say, you want to buy two stocks, it doesn’t matter how much you start out with, but you need to be careful about commissions, especially with small trading volume.

Hardware wallets use 2FA by making sure that in order to access a wallet you prove your identity by something you have (the physical wallet) and something you know (the PIN code for the wallet). If you’re serious about Bitcoin, you need to get a hardware wallet, I personally have 3 different ones.
