Merits of bitcoins

Promising future

As mentioned above, bitcoins are considered the best digital currency; their market value is constantly increasing due to their increased popularity. Also, the continuous adoption of bitcoins as the digital currency makes it clear that bitcoins have a great future ahead, and this popularity is going to increase even more in future, making the possibility of price rising increase; this can turn into a good situation for those who had held their bitcoins and were waiting for the time when the price will be suitable for selling. 

Secure

Another great pro of investing in bitcoins is that they are an extremely secure platform; bitcoins work through blockchain technology, which has a ledger to store information; the ledger cannot be edited, ensuring the authenticity of the data and making bitcoins more reliable. Also, the ledger can be accessed by different computers globally, making it difficult for hackers to get into the system to get the information.

No external organisation

The transactions through bitcoins do not require any external body to pass approvals; this gives users authority to make decisions considering their assets. Users can trade without regulations imposed by central authorities, making the process hassle-free. Only the sender and receiver should agree to make a transaction. Thus bitcoins increase the sense of independence in people as you do not have to depend on others to make payments.

Reduced processing time and transaction fee

In addition, the absence of an intermediary makes the process faster, and users enjoy using bitcoins for this particular reason because traditional methods usually take upto 5 days. Also, the transaction fee with bitcoins is very nominal. Therefore, it can be afforded by anyone making it convenient for people to prefer bitcoins over fiat, where the transaction fee for large amounts is very high.

Anonymous transactions

Another reason that attracts people towards investing in bitcoins is their ability to let users make transactions without involving any external body; this gives users a reason to choose bitcoins over fiat currency because fiat does not proceed with transactions until you provide genuine details about yourself. 

Demerits of bitcoins

No fixed returns

Bitcoins do not have stable prices; their values keep changing, so when you invest in bitcoins, there is no guarantee that you will get the invested money back; this is because the price of bitcoins can change drastically at any moment, causing you to lose your money. Thus it is advised never to overtrade; always invest as much you are ready to lose.

Scams and frauds

Scams and frauds are the primary reason people feel uncomfortable while investing in bitcoin. With the increasing hype, the case of scams is increasing even more. Scammers blackmail people with their personal information to get paid in bitcoins. Some people even get their evil schemes endorsed by celebrities to make them seem natural and to trap many innocent investors. Also, the most common way of scamming has been to find prey on dating sites and earn their trust to get their account details. You can even get scammed if you open a link from an unknown source, getting a virus into your device, which can go through your personal information. These scams can be prevented if you install antivirus software on your device, always research before taking action and stay away from unknown messages.

In conclusion, you would have understood the pros and cons of bitcoins; the above article might have made it clear that bitcoins have unique advantages, but there is also a risk while investing in them; this risk can be easily prevented with some easy steps. The above article might have convinced you to invest in bitcoins if you have not started yet.
