Well, it’s been a crazy 10 years for overclocking guide site. Actually it’s over 10 years since Bitcoin was first created by Satoshi Nakamoto. Whoever, he, she or they were, they’ve had a profound effect on the world. They no doubt predicted that which is why they chose to disappear from the limelight.
So over a decade later Bitcoin is still alive and stronger than ever. Thousands of other crypto coins have come along since all trying to imitate the king of Crypto. All have failed and will continue to fail. Bitcoin is one a kind. Something that can’t be replicated. If you don’t know why then let me explain.
When Bitcoin was first invented it began to spread slowly among a small group of people. It grew organically. When people started to see the benefits of Bitcoin and how the price would increase due to it’s fixed supply, it began to grow faster.
The Bitcoin blockchain is now spread across hundreds of thousands of computer all over the world. It has spread beyond the control of any government. It’s creator has vanished and now it runs autonomously.
Developers can upgrade and improve the Bitcoin network but this has to be done my consensus throughout the whole Bitcoin network. No one single person can control Bitcoin. This is what makes Bitcoin unique and impossible to replicate.
There are thousands of other cryptocurrencies available now but as an example of what makes Bitcoin different I’ll use Ethereum as example. It’s a one of the biggest Alt coins right now and has been since it was invented in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin.
For this example let’s imagine that Iran is sending billions of dollars to North Korea to fund their new nuclear weapons program. This is not a good situation but it’s supposed to show you how your money is safer in Bitcoin!
Anyway.. first example. Iran is using the standard banking system and transferring this money to North Korea in USD. The US government say hang on a minute, we need to freeze these transactions and confiscate the money.. Easy. They do that straight away and the problem is over.
Second example. The same thing happens again but this time Iran use the Ethereum blockchain to send the money to North Korea. The US government are see what is happening. A phone call is made.
