Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin: what they are and what advantages they offer

You may have recently heard more and more about cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoins and Ethereum, as they are the most popular cryptocurrency out there. 

On JustBob.shop, payment in these virtual currencies is not available: you can pay securely by credit or debit card, or by bank transfer. 

Do you want to know more? 

If you are not too familiar with the world of virtual currencies, you will find a quick introduction below that simply explains all about what they are; otherwise, if you are already a crypto veteran, you can skip straight to their advantages further down.  

What are cryptocurrencies?

Cryptocurrencies are virtual currencies with a variable value, and they use cryptography to ensure the security of transactions.  

They are based on a technology called blockchain, a type of digital ledger that securely stores a record of all transactions. 

With the growth of technology and the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies, even typical services are starting to allow transactions and payments in cryptocurrencies for buying clothes, travelling, or making reservations at hotels and other holiday accommodations. 

Justbob.shop is not among them.

Here is how Bitcoin works. 

The world’s most popular cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin

Bitcoin has been the first digital currency to be created in 2009, beginning the spread of a series of other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, Solana and Litecoin: there are about 2000 cryptocurrencies currently on the network. Bitcoin is widely recognised as the most popular cryptocurrency in the world.   

Essentially, it’s a form of virtual currency that enables secure and direct exchange of money online, eliminating the need for intermediaries such as banks or credit institutions. This feature provides greater security for your transactions, when compared to traditional methods of money transfer, such as payment by credit card or bank transfers.  

These are revolutionary currencies that do not involve physical banknotes or coins, and their value is “volatile”. 

Wondering what that means?

Basically, the more users decide to buy Bitcoin, the more the value of the coin increases and vice versa.  

Over the past years, the value of Bitcoin has quadrupled and then suddenly collapsed. Its value often goes up and down, but industry experts believe that this currency has a bright future ahead and that by 2031 we will witness hyperbitcoinization : the mass adoption of Bitcoin.

Why use cryptocurrencies? Here are the advantages.

Using cryptocurrencies has several advantages which are converting more and more people around the world to their use. These can be essentially summarised in: 

• security;
• privacy.

Cryptography gives this control system even more security because it makes every transaction unchangeable and clear. 

In simple terms: each transaction is not validated by a bank but by many users worldwide, so the system can be considered genuinely secure and payment traces cannot be “erased”. 

In addition to this, the privacy matter comes into play. 

To make payments or cryptocurrencies transfers, nothing but anonymous individual codes are used (there is no use of name and surname). A feature loved by many users who do not like to share any kind of purchase with banks.
