Bitcoin is the first decentralized digital asset, unveiled by a mystery man “Satoshi Nakamoto” in the year 2008. But the use of Bitcoin as a digital currency in the crypto market began in the year 2009, which aims to provide decentralized monetization, secure and transparent transactions without any intermediaries like banks and  government. How Does Bitcoin Work? Bitcoin aims to operate without any influence of third-party financial systems or government authorities. Hence, this network uses an open-source program that chains transaction histories to prevent online data theft.   Bitcoin and Other Cryptocurrencies  Not every crypto project is the same. Each project has a unique identity, functionalities, and more. Likewise, Bitcoin, the king of the crypto world, differs from other cryptocurrencies in many different ways. From core features, origin, economic principles, and dominance in the marketplace Bitcoin has many unique potential features. As a result, Bitcoin remains at the center stage. Technology Behind Bitcoin The sole success of Bitcoin is its innovative protocol, enabling secure and transparent transactions.   Role of blockchain The blockchain is a distributed public ledger where every transaction history of Bitcoin will be stored. If a trader initiates a transaction, it will be signed with a secure digital signature and broadcast as a message to the miners network. Crypto miners listen to the broadcast message, process computational work, and bundle the messages into a block. When a miner constructs these blocks, it broadcasts back to the mainstreaming network, where Bitcoin nodes verify its validity. Once verified, the blocks will be added to the blockchain and become part of an immutable ledger shared across the finance world. This makes Bitcoin a peer-to-peer system.  Is Bitcoin a Good Investment? Beyond learning about Bitcoin&#8217;s basics, investors should consider the risks involved with investing in it. Because Bitcoin is the most risky investment with high volatility in the marketplace. So, if you are ready to accept a high-risk tolerance and afford to lose some or all of your investment, you can go with Bitcoin&#8217;s BTC. But we suggest the investors to always keep a diversified portfolio to reduce overall risk exposure associated with Bitcoin investment.  Bitcoin Investment Strategies Investing in top dominants like Bitcoin, involves certain hurdles. Hence, investors should follow the core principles as investment strategies to make an informed decision. Never invest more when you cannot afford the loss. Research and find the fundamental capabilities Use Safe Storage Understand the technology in depth Pay attention to crypto regulations  Research and analyse market trends using technical indicators like MACD and RSI on the daily chart.  Stay updated with the latest market trends and crypto news Legal and Regulatory Consideration 2025 On March 02, 2025, US President Donald Trump announced &#8220;US Crypto Strategic Reserve,&#8221; which integrates top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more. Following his announcement, in the last 24 hours Bitcoin price reclaimed 10%, reaching a high of $94939.23. Besides, it paves a way to contribute a $300 billion rally in the global market. How to Buy and Trade Bitcoin? Investing in Bitcoin seems complicated, but with the right investment strategies and techniques, you can win over it. But how do we buy or trade Bitcoin? Here we go. How to Buy Bitcoin? The best way to purchase Bitcoin rather than mining is by creating a reputable account on the regulated crypto exchange, fund it, and make a purchase. There are four ways to buy Bitcoin Bitcoin.com wallet app Bitcoin.com website Centralized exchanges like Gemini Payment processors like Paypal Other alternative ways are Bitcoin ATMs, P2P exchanges, and Mainstream Brokerages.  How to Trade Bitcoin?  Investors can sell or trade their BTC assets in the same crypto exchanges where the crypto assets are being purchased. However, some crypto exchanges charge a percent of the sale amount as a fee. One such exchange is Coinbase. It charges transaction fees when a trader cashes out their crypto, depending on their selected payment options. Some exchange platforms generally have a daily or monthly withdrawal limit, while others don&#8217;t. Binance, Coinbase, OKX, Bybit, Bitget, KuCoin, and more are some of the best exchanges for you to trade Bitcoin. Bitcoin Wallets and Security Privacy and security are the two keys a Bitcoin trader should consider when using Bitcoin Wallets. Investors who gain the private key should hold it securely. In case if you don&#8217;t have your private key, then you may lose access and control to your Bitcoin permanently.  We all know Bitcoin is the most traded cryptocurrency in the crypto world. Hence, a secure wallet is essential to send, receive, and store Bitcoin safely. But how do we choose?Bitcoin Wallets can be found in the forms of hardware devices, and mobile wallets are paper wallets. Each wallet type has a different security enhancement.  How to Secure Your Bitcoin Holdings? Have you ever heard of Hot and Cold Wallets in the digital economy? It&#8217;s hard to determine which wallet will be the best Bitcoin wallet for all-level traders, because specific features and security options define what will work for an individual trader. Therefore, choosing the right BTC wallet involves considerable types. Hot Wallet Vs. Cold Wallet A Hot Wallet is a “Software Wallet” where crypto investors and traders can easily manage their stored assets. Bitcoin&#8217;s Hot wallets can be accessible in the form of Mobile wallets, Web wallets, Desktop wallets, custodial hot wallets, and non-custodial hot wallets. Whereas, Cold Wallet is a “Hardware Wallet” where crypto investors and  traders can store their private key in the offline mode in order to prevent online threats like hacking. Cold wallets can be found in the form of hardware devices, paper wallets, custodial wallets, and non-custodial wallets. Custodial Vs. Non-Custodial Wallets In the custodial wallet, a third-party intermediary like crypto exchanges might hold your private keys and control access to your Bitcoin. In a non-custodial wallet, users control their private keys and manage to secure Bitcoin.
