Bitcoin Cryptocurrency Consultation

WHAT IS BITCOIN?

By way of background, Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: transaction management and money issuance are carried out collectively by the network.

Bitcoins are created by mining for them.  Mining is the process of adding transaction records to Bitcoin’s public ledger of past transactions (and a “mining rig” is a colloquial metaphor for a single computer system that performs the necessary computations for “mining”. This ledger of past transactions is called the block chain as it is a chain of blocks. The blockchain serves to confirm transactions to the rest of the network as having taken place. Bitcoin nodes use the blockchain to distinguish legitimate Bitcoin transactions from attempts to re-spend coins that have already been spent elsewhere.

SAFEGUARDING BITCOINS

Bitcoins and other Cryptocurrencies are stored in platforms known as wallets.  Hardware wallets are special purpose security-hardened devices for storing Bitcoins on a peripheral that is trusted to generate wallet keys and sign transactions.

A hardware wallet typically holds the private keys in its internal storage and is designed to be malware resistant. Hardware wallets can be very user-friendly and are a top solution for holding private keys.

One of the more popular hardware wallet is the Ledger Wallet.  Ledger offers smartcard-based crypto asset hardware wallets bringing optimal protection level to your Bitcoins.  In addition to Ledger, other Bitcoin hardware wallets include the Trezor Hardware Wallet and the Keepkey Hardware Wallet.
