It’s never too late to join the Bitcoin conversation, let alone buy this popular cryptocurrency. It has gotten a lot of traction in the last few years and with good reason. From a few measly dollars to over $1,000 today, the rise of Bitcoin was nothing short of phenomenal. But if you’re planning to buy Bitcoins, here are key takeaways to solidify your investment.

Bitcoin, or any cryptocurrency for that matter, is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It was created in response to the 2009 global financial crisis concerning banks. The main feature of Bitcoin is the blockchain technology behind it. Its features such as instantaneous global payment transfers argue for the beauty of decentralizing banking and financial processes.

After understanding Bitcoin’s roots, people should study its current form. Like any other currency, Bitcoin is susceptible to the whims of the market. Charts that simply show its value constantly shooting up are misleading. Bitcoin’s value is influenced by the same market forces—-supply and demand. It is this very unpredictability which makes it a risky investment.

If you are going through with your Bitcoin purchase, you have to be smart about cybersecurity. Bitcoins go to your Bitcoin wallet, and once that’s stolen, there’s no getting it back and no one to complain about it. Use a reputed mobile wallet service to secure your investment.
