HELLO DEAR,




...Bitcoin Is A Cryptocurrency

And Worldwide Payment System.

IT Is The First Decentralized

Digital Currency,

As The System Works Without

A central Bank Or

Single Administrator. 




....Every Ten Minutes or
So Mining Computers Collect a
Few Hundred Pending BITCOIN Transactions (a “Block”)
And Turn Them Into
A Mathematical Puzzle.
The First Miner To Find The Solution Announces It

To Others On The Network.
the other miners Then Check Whether
The Sender Of The Funds Has The Right
To Spend The Money, And Whether
The Solution To The Puzzle is Correct.
IF Enough Of Them Grant Their Approval,
The Block Is Cryptographically Added To
The Ledger And The Miners Move On To
The Next Set Of Transactions (Hence The Term “Blockchain”).

THE Miner Who Found The Solution Gets 25 Bitcoins As A Reward, But Only After Another 99 Blocks Have Been Added To The Ledger.




Prohibitively Expensive:
Bitcoin MINERS Now Have 13,000 Times More COMBINED
Number-Crunching POWER THAN THE WORLD’S 500 BIGGEST SUPERCOMPUTERS.



...IT WAS INVENTED BY UNKNOWN PERSONOR GROUP Of People Under

The Name SATOSHI NAKAMOTO And RELEASED As OPEN- Software in 2009.
His Stated Goal Was To Create

"a New Electronic Cash System"

That Was
"completely Decentralized With No Server or central Authority."

After Cultivating The Concept And Technology, in 2011,

NAKAMOTO Turned Over

The Source Code And Domains To Others

In The Bitcoin Community,

And Subsequently Vanished. 



.."YES"IT IS A EXHAUSTIBLE RESOURCES


DOES BITCOIN MINING WASTE ELECTRICITY:-

BITCOIN’S Electricity Consumption Will Grow

To Rival That Of The Nation Of DENMARK by 2020.



Whatever The Accuracy Of Motherboard’s Math, There’s No Disputing The Fact That BITCOIN Uses a Great Deal Of Energy.


There’s No DISPUTING
The Fact That BITCOIN Uses
A Great Deal Of Energy.

ON An Industrial Level, BITCOIN May Be

Considered a System Which Converts Electricity Directly Into Money.



Simply put, currency with no backing but faith in its controllers tends to be short-lived and ruinous in its hyper-inflationary death throes.

Bitcoin was designed with one monetary goal foremost in mind: avoiding the dismal fate of previous monetary forms by preventing the evils of debasement.

Rather than trust in some distant, unaccountable human authority’s wisdom and restraint, Bitcoin’s supply limit is enshrined in its code; its “digital DNA,” as a matter of unanimous consensus.



....Bitcoin is of interest to law enforcement agencies, tax authorities, and legal regulators, all of which are trying to understand how the cryptocurrency fits into existing frameworks. The legality of your bitcoin activities will depend on who you are, where you live, and what you are doing with it.



....As it is a decentralized currency, it can be considered to be a domestic currency since it is being mined in India.

This leaves it out of the scope of Foreign Exchange.
Even if,
IP's can be tracked when Bitcoin is used for Foreign Exchange,

they can be easily anonymized through the Tor Wallet.

...Merits of Bitcoin in India:

Huge profits (In compare to FDs, Mutual Funds, Shares for long term and sometimes more than Intraday as well)

Recently Bitcoin cash has also been introduced but nothing in India anytime soon.

Allowing users to be in control of their transactions help keep Bitcoin safe for the network.

All finalized transactions are available for everyone to see, however personal information is hidden.

Bitcoin it is very possible to be able to send and get money anywhere in the world at any given time.

Currently there are either no fees, or very low fees within Bitcoin payments.

Bitcoin transactions cannot be reversed, do not carry with them personal information, and are secure, merchants are protected from potential losses that might occur from fraud.

Demerits of Bitcoin in India

Bitcoin has some growth to do before it comes to its full and final potential. Bitcoin is just starting out, and it needs to work out its problems just like how any currency in its beginning stage would need to.

Bitcoin is still at its infancy stage with incomplete features that are in development.

To make the digital currency more secure and accessible, new features, tools, and services are currently being developed.




Possibility of high value in future due to great demand.

demerits:

Lack of awareness ( Most of the people still don’t know about digital currencies and Bitcoins)

Interference of government ( the most government can do to bitcoin is they can ban it in their country which will cause the country’s wallet and traders to shut down and your bitcoins would freeze in the wallet which may be hard to access)

Volatility ( The rate of Bitcoin fluctuate with great margins on everyday basis, It will take few years for its price to be settled)

CONCLUSION : Bitcoin is a game changer in digital, world you can count on it but still some risk are involved.





I HOPE ITS HELP YOU DEAR,
THANKS

Bitcoin mining is done by a laptop novice—requiring basic computer code and specialised hardware.

The computer code needed to mine is easy to use and open source—meaning liberated to transfer and run.
The second piece of computer code required is that the mining computer code itself. once launched, the program begins to mine on its own—looking for the magic combination which will open that padlock to the block of transactions.
