A Brief History of Bitcoin
The Future of Money and the Exciting Journey with Pintu
So, you've made it here. Most of you might be a complete novice or casual trader, while some might even be experts. Whichever type you fall into, we believe you're all (and, actually, us too) here for the same reason: your interest in Bitcoin.
Everyone's dreaming of the ideal currency. Over the decades, people have been trying to find the right way to "do money". Of course, just like every noble quest in an adventure book, it's not without its challenges. Recessions, financial crises – haven’t they become all too familiar to our ears? 💸
Yet, there is a glimmer of hope ✨ In 2008, Bitcoin was born, exactly in the same year as the global financial crisis struck the worldwide economy.
Bitcoin was created by Satoshi Nakamoto. It is a new currency – cryptocurrency to be precise – that is decentralized, which means it is not controlled by any entities, be it any governments or even Nakamoto him, her, themselves, unlike any currencies we've ever used.
By using Bitcoin, no one would ever have to worry about sending money anymore. Global transactions are incredibly easy and fast than credit card payments and regular money transfers. These transactions are then recorded on the blockchain, kind of like that one huge book that archives all the important records 📒
But how can we be sure of its value? Bitcoin is scarce in nature, similar to gold. There will only be 21 million Bitcoins ever produced, a fixed supply so that it continues to hold value!
Bitcoin's price goes up and down, but in retrospect, it has enjoyed a significant rise since it was born 📈 A good case in point might be this: a mere Rp 1 million Bitcoin investment in 2013, when converted into cash at the time this is written, is worth a brand new car 🚘
There are many ways to obtain Bitcoin. The easiest is through specialized cryptocurrency exchanges. Yet, it’s important to do proper research before choosing an exchange and a safe wallet to store your cryptocurrency. After all, it's money we're dealing with.
But don’t be intimidated just yet, because this is where Pintu comes in. Pintu is the place where anyone can buy, sell, store, and send cryptocurrency all in just one mobile app, simply because we love convenience more than anything!
