What is Bitcoin? All you need to know about Bitcoin

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency which is based upon SHA-256 algorithm and it is available in the online data, we can’t have Bitcoin in physical like fiat.
Here SHA-256 algorithm is a special type of programming that changing the one side data into a hash form ( encrypted), it is not made for encryption but its function is to give encryption in algorithm to make more secure the data.

Yes and no, both.

At one side the people who have Bitcoin can use it to buy/sell their things for Bitcoin as a digital currency.
But at another side, No one governments declared yet Bitcoin or any another Bitcoin like Cryptocurrency as digital currency, through regulation and rules are made that allows people to use Bitcoin for buy-sell of assets at Thier own risk.

It depends upon the country to the country government whether they have banned or regulated Bitcoin.
Few countries banned, few regulated and few are doing research whether it should be declare as legal or not.

No, Bitcoin is not owned by anyone, but still few improvement and development control options are under the Bitcoin maintenance team.
There is no physical appearance of any organization or authority of Bitcoin in the whole world yet.

In our opinion Bitcoin is 100% safe to have as a long term in a digital wallet.
Here factor is not only of the safety but there are many things are available where we have lots of advantages to have i.e no restriction of any limitation.

Suppose you have 100$ in your bank, then after 10 year the value of 100$ may be increase by 10-20$ maximum and at the end you will have fix profit of small amount.
But if you will have 100$ of bitcoin in wallet then after 10 year there are 99% chances that you can have about 10times the initial fund i.e 1000$ approx. Atleast ( Calculation made according to whole research of minimum growth of bitcoin market from the past year fluctuations )

If a person has thought that whether it will be beneficial or not to have bitcoin in the future.
Many people have thought that what will happen in the future if the government of their country declared BITCOIN as illegal.
Here the answer is this is impossible because bitcoin is accessible to use with the direct use of internet connection, so no one can ban/restrict.
And suppose if it gets declared illegal/ban then still you have the option to sell in another country easily ( for this you can take help of many escrow website for p2p buy/sell ).
