In other words, with the advent of the virtual currency called bitcoin, the financial world has changed. The change is accepted in the real world, the proof being that after bitcoin many other currencies of this kind have appeared and appear constantly, many people look at them with confidence, invest in them and accept them as a means of payment. However, their existence is not yet regulated, and it is known that the currency is currently defined as a means of payment issued and guaranteed by a sovereign State or by the European Union through national banks or through the European Central Bank. For cryptocurrency no one guarantees! For now! More and more investors are wondering what cryptocurrencies are, how they can buy bitcoin, ethereum and others, what is the best time to buy them, where to learn about them, about ICOs, electronic wallets (wallet) and how they can turn virtual currencies into real money.
