Did you know if you had invested just $1 in bitcoin in 2010, it would be worth $241,087 today? According to a report by CNN, Bitcoin, a blockchain payment technology built by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008, has been the best-performing asset in decades. In 2010, one bitcoin (BTC) was worth $0.08 and in 2021, that same BTC reached an all-time high price of $69,000. What a leap!
Buying cryptocurrency with VIBRA in Kenya makes life easy!
Recently, countries like El Salvador, United Arab Emirates (UAE), and the Central African Republic (CAR) have embraced cryptocurrencies with constitutional backing. There is no doubt, that bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are the future of money. This is why VIBRA offers a simple-to-use wallet where Africans can buy, save (with interest ), trade, and invest in all types of crypto assets without compromising security.
Before Buying Bitcoin, What Exactly Is It?
Bitcoin is the first and most popular crypto asset, and you should know the characteristics of this digital asset before buying it.
Here are a few:
It is a Digital Currency: This means that unlike Fiat (paper money), you will not see the physical equivalent of Bitcoin and it can only be stored in a digital wallet like VIBRA. Since it was launched in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto, BTC has grown in popularity and usage because it removes the major fiat currency barriers in this revolutionary digital age.
Highly Divisible: Just like one dollar can be divided into 100 smaller units called cents, bitcoin can be divided into 100 million smaller units called satoshis. This enables anyone to own a tiny fraction of bitcoin, e.g. If you want to purchase $10 worth of BTC, you will own 0.000521 BTC because 1 BTC is at the current rate of $19,251.
Immutability and Security: Bitcoin transactions are highly secure and tamper-proof because they are recorded on the blockchain. User data is very secure and private. However, transactions can be viewed on the blockchain explorer for transparency. But user identity is protected.
