I feel the marketing & promotion is more important zero fees for community growth and sustained usability of an altcoin.Website is: https://marineco.inMore details here  Yes 100 percent free no strings attached.  Marinecoin is an extremely fast coin that is eco- friendly and dev=less. mtc will be controlled by artificial iot intellgience and will be a real force in the crypto markets in the future.  https://marineco.in It is a time tested mtc network. Marinecoins block chain is 500% faster that Bitcoin community .

I'm not sure if I understand what you are actualy trying to ask. Do you mean if Bitcoin can be forged? If that is the question the answer is no and you can't get any fake Bitcoin. Everything is verified through network and miners so nothing similar can't happen.
But Bitcoin doesn't have it's physical version so you can't touch it or feel it it that was your thought.

I honestly think OP has a good question and for users new to the cryptocurrency world this is important to know especially that crypto coins do get forked once in a while and the easiest way to verify a coin is through a block explorer meant for a specific coin so if its bitcoin there specific explorers for it same goes to bitcoin cash and all other coins.

i think it's one of the stupidest questions i've ever read.

the only reason this forum and bitcoin still exists is because there is no such thing as a fake bitcoin, never will be and never can be.

you have a bitcoin wallet. it accepts bitcoins. you send bitcoins. it is 100% impossible for the bitcoin wallet or network to do anything else.

if there was a shred of doubt about this no one would touch it. the total erasure of doubt is the only thing it has going for it to win over skeptics.

Bitcoin does not have fake, it is not like fiat money, if someone sends you bitcoin then it will show up in your wallet if the transaction is done right. You cannot just make bitcoin at will.

It is for sure safer to go with an airdrop than ICO. For example is Marinecoin (MTC)distributing its total supply via airdrop. Check it out: https://marineco.in It is a self sustaining machine to machine system. Their Ardrop works with proof of promotion and works with artificial intelligence. The community is still quite small, but steady growing. In my opinion it could get quite big. The best thing is that you do not have to invest your money since it is completely air drop based. Its time tested as well. It had once a even bigger market cap than BTC.

Just make a legit wallet, and to do that you need to research about it for you to be sure if you dont trust anybody. By choosing a legit one you can sure that bitcoin you have is a true and original bitcoin. So far I didn't here fake bitcoin was created, but a fake site is frequently done by any hackers, and it's called phishing, it is a malicious act of keeping a false website or sending a false e-mail. Just avoid that and youll be great.

That physical structure of Bitcoin is not real in that size. In this case you can own Pepal Balance. You made a bit of bitcoin wallet. Convert your local currency to bitcoin. Submit some bitcoins through conversion. Hold your gold. Please believe Bitcoin like me, Bitcoin will change your life. So now start investing in bitcoin.

[Dapper]

Takes about 5 minutes to convert to fiat that is physical in your hand for one thing.

Nice question but if it had any answers for real then Govt would have already enforced it.

[Jerald]

Bitcoin is true and it is especially proven that all bitcoin users and bitcoins have a lot to do with their investments that have helped their life be successful so you invest in bitcoin so you can also make yourself bitcoin is true.

Look for some references around the broker. Buy the bitcoin from the reknown broker. and Depending on the country you may have different brokers.

How can you verify if a bitcoin is real?

Transfer it in you`r wallet https://electrum.org/

[stuffingfrisbee]

I am newbie to so don't know about the answer but the topic seems exciting though

[bit-freedom]

If I didn’t understand your question wrongly, you can verify that the bitcoin you received is indeed bitcoin by using a Bitcoin explorer. The transaction is public, by pasting your BTC address, you will be able to see whether you indeed receive bitcoin.

[cloudgin]

I didn't know that bitcoins can be faked too really. And if it can be then this thread seems to be really valuable

Hi and thanks to all for chipping in with your input but..

I must say I'm still missing something - and I'm happy to say, maybe something has clicked yet for me..

I know the blockchain verifies that a trail of events (transactions) remains true, this is it's purpose. If you read the article on the bitcoin wiki (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Secure_Trading) it says that "Bitcoin users may want to trade bitcoin directly with each other in what is known as an over-the-counter market", this suggests that I can pass a bitcoin directly from my wallet to your wallet without the blockchain. Or when the say "directly" do they mean by-passing exchanges etc?

When you buy Bitcoin in any exchange then it is Bitcoin. When Bitcoin is on a digital wallet then it is Bitcoin unlike money that it can be duplicated and confused a lot of people whether it is fake or real, but as of today, we don't find fake BTC that are in circulation right?

I agree, for almost anyear of staying here, I didnt encounter about fake bitcoin. Only fake sites, people. Bitcoin is real, once you have it in your wallet it is now yours, yes it was not like a fiat that people can duplicate. You can also see it in your transaction history everytime you receive or release bitcoin from your wallet.
