How to use Bitcoin? 🤔

Bitcoin has become a widely accepted form of payment for a variety of goods and services around the world, both online and in-person, using special bitcoin wallets. From pizzas to houses, airline tickets and of course online casino credits, it seems bitcoins’ relevance is always changing.

As testament to the legitimacy of bitcoin, there are also plenty of major international companies and brands that accept it either directly or indirectly. Microsoft, for example, has been accepting Bitcoin since 2014. Bill Gates even said it was better than currency!

Another well-known company that allows bitcoin, albeit inadvertently, is the global shopping giant Amazon. How it works is that you can buy Amazon gift cards at Bitrefill with bitcoin and then spend them on Amazon products or goods listed on their website.

There are even now ATMs in certain countries that allow you to withdraw cash from your bitcoin account. This means that bitcoin has crossed the line between being an exclusively online currency and is now totally accessible no matter where you are. All you really need is a means for purchasing bitcoin in the first place plus a bitcoin wallet.


What’s a Bitcoin wallet? 👛

A bitcoin wallet or digital wallet is an online program that allows you to store cryptocurrency until you are ready to either spend them on something or exchange them for another currency.

There are different types of wallets on offer, each of which comes with different features. Some wallets can also only be used on certain platforms or internet browsers, so you’ll need to do some research before you commit to one. A few favourites include: 

After finding a wallet that suits your needs, all you need to do is provide an email address and a password in order to begin the setup process. You can then begin trading bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency once this stage has been completed.


The history of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies 💵

Before we dive snout first into the cool, calm and inviting waters of bitcoin, we first need to have a little chinwag about cryptocurrencies in general.

Of course, the history of cryptocurrencies is a story longer than a crocodile’s tail, so we’ll keep in brief. In short, cryptocurrency officially became a thing when the white paper ‘Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System’ was released back in October 2008 by a person or persons operating under the alias of Satoshi Nakamoto.

In this white paper, the benefits of using bitcoin as a cryptocurrency were discussed and the technology behind the exchange of cryptocurrencies, known as blockchain, was introduced. The goal of the paper was to establish that cryptocurrencies were superior to traditional financial institutions and usher the very first type of cryptocurrency (bitcoin) into the world.

Roughly a year after cryptocurrency began to make waves, an exchange market was launched that allowed people to buy and trade bitcoin as a commodity. Suddenly, bitcoin could actually be tracked in real dollars, which gave it value. Even if it was only priced at a fraction of a cent in those early days. My… how times have changed.

Bitcoin 101 ₿

As we mentioned earlier, bitcoin was the very first cryptocurrency to be created and officially recognised as a digital currency that could be traded independently outside of a central bank. This made it the ‘money of the internet’, however, it would soon be used in transactions for goods and services that would normally require cash.


When did Bitcoin appear❓

Given the mysterious nature of the creation of cryptocurrency, it’s difficult to nail down the exact day or moment that bitcoin was created. The common consensus is that it became an official form of currency sometime around late 2009 to early 2010, however, only Satoshi Nakamoto can put a definitive date to its creation.

In lieu of there being an official date, many people have marked May 22, 2010, as the birthday of bitcoin. This is due to the fact that on this day the very first purchase of any goods using bitcoin was undertaken. Recorded by Laszlo Haynecz, he was said to have purchased two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins – a figure that at the time of this would be valued at over $131 million Australian dollars.
