hey guys sergey here and in this video i'm going to address bitcoin and i'm going to talk about what is bitcoin how to use it how to get started what is the best or the easiest the most user-friendly e-wallet that you can open so this is the topic that i'm going to cover in this video when people first hear about bitcoin it sounds like an obscure concept because it is digital type of currency it's uh it's currency it's got value but uh it's not backed up by anything that has value meaning most currencies are backed up by gold and you know other assets that countries and governments would have but in in with bitcoin is not being controlled by a government or any company or you know anybody and it's just a little bit too up in the air for many people and this is the main reason why many people are not really feeling comfortable with bitcoin and they don't really understand it but to you know as a if you're going to use bitcoin for any new program that you might be joining if you're making money online or if you are planning to make money online sooner or later you will need to use bitcoin because it's one of the many currencies and not only that but it's also just a payment gateway for many things online this is why bitcoin should just be seen as just another currency if you're going to be just a consumer and you're going to be using it to make payments for certain things goods products programs trainings whatever it is if you're going to use it in that case you're just a consumer so you can just treat it as a currency even though it's not backed by gold or any of the other commodities it is just a currency and it is valuable because it is relying on a very difficult mathematical algorithms and and you it for you to mine bitcoin you need to be a programmer you need to have the right equipment and it's computers solving uh difficult mathematical um problems so to speak and bitcoins right now are being mined every 10 minutes you have a new block added to the blockchain every 10 minutes and every transaction that happens with bitcoin is being confirmed by all of the computers the whole network of that blockchain and every transaction is confirmed hundreds of times this is why when you make a transaction with bitcoin soon after that you start seeing how many confirmations you're you're having on that transaction every time there is a new block added to the blockchain the transaction needs to be confirmed again and with more and more blocks being added to that blockchain it it becomes far more difficult for that transaction to be altered or changed in any way it's very difficult for you to hack into the system and go through back transactions and start making any kind of uh funny games with that because you will not be able to delete all of these confirmations from the different blocks in the blockchain and i have transactions sometimes that have more than 400 confirmations 600 confirmations stuff like that so we're talking about quite a secure system now when you start with bitcoin you will be buying bitcoin from your bank account or credit card so you will have to pay for it with the currency you have and to make it easier i'm going to explain about coinbase this is the e-wallet that i started with and i find it the easiest of all of the e-wallets it's really user-friendly and um you there are a few e-wallets that you can get but not every wallet has the option for you to buy bitcoin from your credit cards or from a bank account with some e-wallets you can only transfer bitcoin into those and that's why i'm going to explain about coinbase this will be the e-wallet that i recommend for you to start if you're a newbie of course there are evil is that would be more preferred by some people especially when you get experience with bitcoin and you find out that coinbase sells you bitcoin slightly higher at a slightly higher rate than what uh you will find it at the exchanges there are public exchange websites where you can go and you can buy bitcoin cheaper than what you get in coinbase but as a consumer and especially someone who is just starting with bitcoin and who is not familiar how everything works you will certainly not be looking for the cheapest option you will be looking for the safer and most user-friendly option that's that's what i was looking for when i started so let's go into the coinbase i'm gonna go into my coinbase e-wallet and i'll just show you what i'm doing with it and how i'm working with it and i have a separate video that is showing how to open a coinbase account so when you first start with bitcoin just treat it as a regular currency just another currency let's say you're exchanging your money into another currency that it just happens to be called bitcoin and because bitcoin is such a high value right now it's about six hundred dollars per one bitcoin that means if you just want to spend fifty dollars you will have a fraction of a bitcoin so the fact that bitcoin costs so much shouldn't really trouble you know that some people are worried okay but i don't want to have six hundred dollars because that's the price of one bitcoin and i don't want just to spend six hundred dollars and to have it in my e-wallet sitting in bitcoin you don't have to you can spend just 10 or even five whatever you want to spend and there are programs out there that work with uh smaller amounts like there are programs that work with 0.01 bitcoin or 0.02 bitcoin and you can work with this type of amounts so it is very easy it once you start using it you will see how simple it is and this is why i'm recommending uh coinbase it's got a application that i have on my phone uh because it's regardless whether it's iphone or android you have an application on your phone that you can use coinbase official application and you can see i have here i have a button buy and sell and i can see the price also it's up again it's 615 right now okay this is good so if i want to buy bitcoin right now and send it to someone because let's say i need to send fifty dollars to someone or to pay for something and i don't have any in my e-wallet i would go to buy and here i need to just select how much i want to buy and then the next step will be to select a payment and to send the payment and it will go into my e-wallet once it's in my e-wallet i can then go on to the website and let me just go into my account so this is my bitcoin e-wallet this is coinbase and this is how it looks so you can see here that i have some payments recently that were received and they were so little i received 19 cents from a website and these are kind of regular payments that i'm getting and this was 0.0003 1251 bitcoin so we can work with really small fractions of a coin here this is why it's so easy uh every transaction that is being done let's click on this transaction every transaction has a few confirmations i told you already quite a few actually this is a recent transaction that's why i have 81 confirmations already and if we go into an older transaction like this one here for 0.20 bitcoin which is 115 i have 758 confirmations already this transaction was completed on the 2nd of september it is the 7th today so it's been 5 days ago and every transaction is being recorded on the blockchain and this is how you can trace every transaction and uh it even tells you here in which block from that blockchain is the transaction originated so this transaction is on block number four hundred twenty eight thousand and seventeen and uh you you have all of these details these are the this is the hash id of this transaction this is a unique code that identifies this transaction and this is this code is being confirmed on it's already been confirmed 758 times most of the time my transactions do not incur any fees generally transactions in bitcoin are free of charges and fees but some programs might decide to charge for their side of the service this is why with bitcoin you you might still be paying fees here and there but most of the time you're avoiding the fee the whole idea behind bitcoin and behind making this uh currency is that the middleman the bank is being skipped in transactions you no longer need to go through a credit card machine or or bank transfer to send money and and you are basically cutting off the middleman that is taking that fee of course programs that are using bitcoin could act as a middleman or you might have third-party services that would initiate transactions on someone else's behalf and they might charge you so again you will be paying the fee but it will be a smaller fee than you will be paying if you are doing a bank transfer or anything like that so this is all about bitcoin i'm not going to go through the steps on how to open a coinbase account or how to work with coinbase i have a separate video for that and this is just me introducing bitcoin as a simple concept to people who still don't understand it treat it as a currency just treat it as another type of currency you
