Over the past few months I 've observed the worth rise of bitcoin exponentially. I had no notion what bitcoin was and never even heard of crypto currency several months ago. But with the recent government and media focus crypto currencies have received, they've gotten the focus of everyone.


Crypto currency or more simply money that is digital is getting approval instantly all around the world as it makes transactions more economical and faster. These transactions are secured by cryptography and each transaction has its own signature or private key. With its rise in popularity and value everyone wants a piece of the actions. There are two chief ways to make money with bitcoin. The first is a pretty straightforward approach to purchasing the coin as an investment and trust that its worth increases. The second is the procedure of "mining" bitcoins. Once a transaction has happened they are subsequently checked over the network by "miners" using complicated algorithms. As a reward for his or her work they receive freshly minted bitcoins and/or transaction fees!


From an investing perspective there's a large risk/reward factor as this currency is comparatively new and has no intrinsic worth causing unpredictability and huge cost changes. A positive fact is that there's a huge amount of money invested in this and so we have no idea when its worth will go back to zero firms are signing on to use this currency,!


"Mining" even offers a large risk/reward factor. In the beginning of bitcoin, you used in order to "mine" with the average laptop or home computer. But now as more folks are doing it the problem and power needed to "mine" increases. Bitcoins have a maximum sum that can be minted (21 million). And as we get closer and closer to 21 million the sum of bitcoin rewarded for each successful "mine" gets smaller and smaller. Now "miners" looking to be prosperous have to invest in complicated high tech mining rigs and there's still no guarantee they'll be prosperous or even make their costs back.


There's a safer and third option, though. In any sudden happening that promises riches the most rewarding enterprise is selling the tool which helps create these riches. As an example, in a gold rush it'd function as the spade and in "mining" for bitcoin it'd be mining rigs or strong image cards. If you get your hands on some affordable or even can produce these you'll make a considerable gain reversing them. Unfortunately, only a select few have the luxury of choosing this option.


With folks flocking towards the riches the scam artists are having a field day too. Read articles, browse the forums, watch the bitcoin marketplace, and study your costs before considering anything that is investing and ROI. In my own opinion, you should do this for several weeks before putting any money. That is an exceptionally volatile marketplace and an even more risky investment.


But in the end, I believe it boils down to if you are willing to take the danger of losing it all, to possibly help it become big.
