[2017-11-04]Bitcoin hits the mainstream, but is it really 'the new gold'?

[Karartma1]

Bitcoin – a currency run by a peer-to-peer online network, rather than any single organisation – has powered its way into the public consciousness.
Adverts for brokers appear on London Underground; major investment shops such as IG and Hargreaves Lansdown now offer ways to buy, and a deluge of emails encouraging people to invest is flooding the nation’s inboxes.
Some believe it is a new order of finance that will turn traditional banking and economic control upside-down. Others invest simply for fear of missing huge returns.

So long as bitcoin is supported by the community, it can be considered a new digital gold. Moreover, with the increase in its rate, this function of the measure of the storage of value will only increase. If such digital gold is stored in a purse, it will occur in an atmosphere of complete anonymity, unlike the storage of its monetary assets in bank institutions, and it is completely safe. It is necessary only in advance to worry that the private key from the purse was in a safe place.
