One of the most well-known uses of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/yeeply.com\/en\/blog\/what-is-a-blockchain-wallet-and-how-do-you-choose-the-best-one-for-you\/\">blockchain<\/a> is to run the distributed ledger that regulates bitcoin,<\/strong> the first decentralised online digital currency.<\/span><br \/>\n<div class=\"bt-proyecto\"><a class=\"do-not-track\" href=\"https:\/\/yeeply.com\/en\/?rel=EN-BT-proyecto-digital#publish-project\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FIND THE BEST TEAM FOR YOUR DIGITAL PROJECT<\/a><\/div><\/p>\n<h2>What is a Bitcoin?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So many of us use electronic systems to spend and receive money. It feels like<strong> all of us are using some form of digital payment system.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bitcoin is a completely digital currency. There are no bitcoin notes or coins. Users buy products or services with their bitcoin. The use\u00a0an online wallet to transfer bitcoin from one user wallet to another. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But bitcoin is different from when we use our <a href=\"https:\/\/yeeply.com\/en\/blog\/6-great-bitcoin-apps\/\">banking app<\/a> to send a payment. No bank or government guarantees or regulates the currency. It exists on a ledger that is decentralised and public. Making it hard to hack or manipulate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3821 size-full\" title=\"golden gearwheels with dollar signs\" src=\"https:\/\/yeeply.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Financial-markets-12-800x350-1.jpg\" alt=\"golden gearwheels with dollar signs\" width=\"800\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yeeply.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Financial-markets-12-800x350-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/yeeply.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Financial-markets-12-800x350-1-300x131.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yeeply.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Financial-markets-12-800x350-1-768x336.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How and why did bitcoin became so famous?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Launched in 2009, bitcoin was invented by a programmer, or group of programmers. They are known only by the anonymous name Satoshi Nakamoto. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jbs.cam.ac.uk\/fileadmin\/user_upload\/research\/centres\/alternative-finance\/downloads\/2017-global-cryptocurrency-benchmarking-study.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Current estimates by the University of Cambridge<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> suggest that between <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>2.9 to 5.8 million unique users<\/strong> used a cryptocurrency wallet in 2016, with the majority of these being bitcoin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As well as becoming the first cryptocurrency to be used so widely, bitcoin has become well known as early adopters of the currency often became bitcoin millionaires through mining the currency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To begin with it was easy to \u2018mine\u2019 bitcoin. This is the process where users would allow their computer\u2019s CPU to be used to assist with creating records for bitcoin using <a href=\"https:\/\/yeeply.com\/en\/blog\/what-is-a-blockchain-wallet-and-how-do-you-choose-the-best-one-for-you\/\">blockchain<\/a>. Thanks to this the system consistent and means it can\u2019t be altered. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>In exchange for helping by mining bitcoin, users were rewarded with a share of the inflation of the currency. Essentially they are paid in bitcoin. Today, as the currency has grown, <strong>mining needs far more power and individual users aren\u2019t able to earn these rewards so easily<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As well as mining their way to millions we often hear stories like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2015\/dec\/09\/bitcoin-forgotten-currency-norway-oslo-home\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kristoffer Koch<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who forgot about a $27 investment in the currency and found he now had bitcoin worth over $800k!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>How does bitcoin affect mobile payments?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are <a href=\"https:\/\/yeeply.com\/en\/blog\/when-and-how-to-create-an-app-for-your-business\/\">creating a product, mobile app or service<\/a> that is available online then it is likely that you\u2019ve wondered whether you should be <strong>accepting bitcoin as payment<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is clear that bitcoin has already impacted mobile payments and will continue to do so. Caleb Chen, Director of Marketing at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Private Internet Access<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, notes:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Bitcoin has turned mobile payments on their head by enabling those with access to a smartphone and the internet to interact with the entire world, even if they live in a third world country.\u2019<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>This democratisation of currency is attractive to many<\/strong>, especially if your own national currency is volatile. It is also a good way to reach a new market. There people find themselves with access to digital currency for the first time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3822\" title=\"a bitcoin dissolves into 0 1 numbers\" src=\"https:\/\/yeeply.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Blockchain_resized.jpg\" alt=\"a bitcoin dissolves into 0 1 numbers\" width=\"839\" height=\"466\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bitcoin transactions are fast and there are no fees. This is attractive if you are doing business globally.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One disadvantage of bitcoin, as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mang-Git Ng, Founder of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/useledger.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ledger<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, points out is that <em>\u2018Bitcoin although popular, provides some drawbacks when trying to interface the digital currency with existing real world currencies.\u2019<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As bitcoin is not tied to one country or market. So its <strong>value can go up and down quite sharply<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What is the future for Bitcoin?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The statistic that I used earlier from Cambridge University is, in fact, from a study. \u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jbs.cam.ac.uk\/fileadmin\/user_upload\/research\/centres\/alternative-finance\/downloads\/2017-global-cryptocurrency-benchmarking-study.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Global Cryptocurrency Benchmarking Study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, written by the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance and supported by Visa, is the <strong>first study of its kind to look at digital currency<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is interesting about the study though might not even be what is written in it.<strong> Visa\u2019s Innovation and Strategic Partnerships team support this study<\/strong>. This shows that Visa take alternative finance, like bitcoin, seriously. Whatever happens with the rise of digital currencies like bitcoin will affect their business greatly. When a leading payments company is taking bitcoin seriously, you know the future is worth looking out for. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But this<strong> doesn\u2019t mean we will all be using online wallets and paying with bitcoin <\/strong>in the near future. Mang-Git Ng sees the future of bitcoin as dependent on a shift in the way we think about money. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018For cryptocurrencies to really take off, I think there needs to be products that focus on bridging the gap between how users perceive money today, and how digital currencies like bitcoin actually operate&#8217;.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/lindseyhavens\/\">Lindsey Havens<\/a>\u00a0,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Senior Marketing Manager at PhishLabs, thinks that <strong>decentralised nature of bitcoin is in fact one of the barriers to wider adoption<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018The future of bitcoin is somewhat elusive and it&#8217;s definitely still a far cry away from becoming mainstream. Many things plague the digital currency such as taxes and regulatory issues.\u2019<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is certainly true. One of the advantages of a currency that is backed by a government is the built in regulation that comes with that.\u00a0Bitcoin,<strong> on the other hand, is open source<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There hasn\u2019t been much thought to how bitcoin might be <strong>regulated alongside other currencies<\/strong>. Germany has taken the step of recognising bitcoin as \u2018private money&#8217;. This means it can count as income and taxed as part of a person\u2019s income.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yeeply.com\/en\/?rel=EN-BP-proyecto-digital#publish-project\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/yeeply.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/EN-cta-blogpost-proyecto-digital.jpg\" alt=\"Proyecto Digital\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my last blog I wrote about blockchain tecnology.
