Uses Of Bitcoin

Bitcoin is just a digital currency like any other currency. What can you use bitcoin as a currency for?

Worry not. We shall discuss some of the most common uses of bitcoin here now.

Making Payments Internationally

The quickest way to make payments for goods and services or for sending money to family and friends anywhere in the world is through bitcoin.

Bitcoin is a digital currency which is universal. The same bitcoin someone has in Ghana is the same as what someone has in China in terms of identity.

The value also remains the same all over the world. You get to send any amount of money to anyone in the world by converting your fiat currency (National currency) into bitcoin and then you can transfer to the recipient’s wallet without the use of any third party.

For Trading Other Cryptocurrencies

Aside from Bitcoin, there are currently over five thousand other cryptocurrencies available.

Being the mother of all cryptocurrencies, most of these crypto-assets can only be purchased using Bitcoin as the means of trade.

So, for most other cryptocurrencies, you need to already have Bitcoin in your account before you can buy the other asset you wish to buy.

There are special platforms which enable you to exchange your Bitcoin for other cryptocurrency assets by buying from people willing to sell. These platforms are called exchangers.

Used For Crypto Trading

Crypto trading is a subset of Forex trading or foreign exchange trading.

With crypto trading, you can buy a crypto asset at a lower price and wait for it to increase in value compared with its pair then you sell it back for the other pair so you can make a profit.

So for example, if you are using Bitcoin and Ethereum as your pair, you can buy Ethereum when 50 Ethereums equal to 1 Bitcoin. Then you wait till the value increases to maybe 30 Ethereums equal to 1 bitcoin. Then you make a profit.

You can decide to trade every day of the week or you can decide to just follow news on the cryptomarket and trade based on speculations and current trending news.

For example, if you realise that Bitcoin is about to lose some value because of some bad news going against it, you can trade it in to buy a currency which is gradually gaining more value at the same time. It all depends on you.
