Is bitcoin the answer if traditional investments are letting you down?

The cryptocurrency has a volatile past, but is now being traded around the world. Here\’s the lowdown on going digital with your money

Looking at the negligible returns offered on cash investments, Edward Cunningham started searching for alternatives. Instead of going to the stock market or buying up gold bars, however, the 45-year-old from Sherborne in Dorset turned to the internet, and last September invested in the digital currency bitcoin. Since then his stake has more than doubled.

Bitcoin is a paperless, bankless, stateless currency which exists on computers, and carries with it a whiff of peril for investors. Cunningham admits to being nervous when he first signed up to trade in the currency, especially when he had to make his first deposit via a bank in Estonia. “It all turned out well and I bought my first coins for $225 each, well below today\’s price of around $575,” he says.

Distributed Consensus Problem

I’m learning more about bitcoin, so please bear with my ignorance. I’m learning that bitcoin reaches consensus by incentivizing honest users, but there is a limited number of bitcoins that can be mined. At some point, does that mean that bitcoin will run out? How are we going to reach (…)

How can Circle withdraw money from my bank but not send me Bitcoin?

I decided to buy $300 from Circle earlier today and noticed it wasn’t sending to my BTC address. I went looking through my account and noticed it is ‘under review’. I have all documents verified and have the $3000 limit which shouldn’t be a problem.

My issue is that they still took money from my bank account but did not send Bitcoin… doesn’t quite make sense.

SHA256 Question

Assume you’re holding the private keys to a BTC address.

If another BTC address is very similar (say all characters but 1 are identical), would it be any easier to determine the private keys to this address than it would to do so with a random address?
