Where do you spend your Bitcoins?

Bitcoin is a digital currency that is held electronically. It is decentralized, hence no one controls it. It's a pretty good investment nowadays, since the price still keeps on rising. When I initially learned about it, it was still about $400 USD. Now, it's over $4000. Amazing, right? Do you have Bitcoins? Where do you spend it?

I bought it when it was just about $2200 i think and I must say my money has grown well now. I just bought some bitcoins but I don't spend them because their value seems to keep on increasing.

@Kattleya I also tried trading but I just can't handle the stress of doing it so I decided to stop and do mining instead.

Yep! Good move @JeeyanDee! I'm trying to save some too. Do you just purchase it? or do you also trade or gamble to possibly increase your amount of BTC?

Bitcoin was like 6 years old, then comes Ethereum. I don't own one, but I bet stakes their rate increases everyday at stocks, so I did at etoro and gained more because it was a soaring trend that time. Money tripled in minutes.

@artauxeo I trade my Bitcoin with Ethereum. Ethereum has very good potential. I haven't tried Etoro. I'll check it out. :)

It sounds complicated to me. Can I easily turn it into cash? How can you easily have bitcoins? I already have a bitcoin wallet a member here instructed me but I'm still confuse about it

@averygirl72 We only need to sign up at www .coins.ph there is a referral program but you know I can't post it here (LOL) it is only similar to PayPal. We can cash IN thru 7-11 and cash OUT to local bank accounts, GCash, Cebuana, etc etc.

That's exactly what I felt starting out. You can easily turn it to cash in coins.ph. I would suggest you read more about it and watch videos in youtube. I think it's better to know more about it before using it anywhere. There are a lot of scam that preys on newbies.

It is NOT. But we can use it with PayPal if we load the Bitcoin to Visa or MasterCard and link the cards to PayPal.

I honestly haven't tried converting it in Paypal. I don't think Paypal exchanges it either. You would have to exchange it for fiat for you to be able to put it in Paypal.

Just think of Bitcoin like US$ and Coinbase.com like PayPal. Forget other things first (trading/investing) so you wont get a headache. You can learn about investing later but it is only an option for Bitcoin users like Forex and trading Gold/Silver/Gas/Oil. You may earn or lose when prices rise/drop. Don't mix those two things.

I agree with @AkoPinay! It farely good advise. I didn't care about it to when I initially got introduced to it. I got to learn about it over time when I continued using it.

If 'no one controls it' then who is releasing the bitcoins each year, and why is there only a limited number of them available?

@Kattleya Incorrect. Someone wrote the code that controls Bitcoins and how many coins are released each year. There are a limited number of coins. They are not infinite. Someone somewhere IS controlling them.

No one is releasing Bitcoin each year. It's an entire system that has rules in codes. Bitcoins are mined everywhere as we speak. To mine them, you also need mining software. It's a decentralized peer to peer currency. It's a whole Bitcoin community the controls it together. :)
