Let’s start from the basics, ie the definition of Bitcoin. It is a virtual currency created at the end of 2008 by an anonymous inventor known under the pseudonym of Satoshi Nakamoto.

Payments with Bitcoin are irreversible

The transitions already executed cannot be canceled, but only redeemed by the person who received the money. It is therefore necessary to make sure that the transactions involve only trusted people and organizations or with a solid reputation. However Bitcoin can detect typing errors and usually does not send money to wrong addresses.

Immediate transactions are less secure

A Bitcoin transaction is usually done in a few seconds and it is confirmed within the next 10 minutes. In such a time, a transaction can be considered authentic but still reversible and dishonest users may then try to deceive. If you do not have time to wait for a confirmation, it is advisable to ask for a small transaction fee or use a localization system.

Anonymity

The identity of the user behind an address is unknown until the information is revealed during a purchase or in other circumstances. We recommend to use only a Bitcoin addresses once.

Fast and global transactions.

Transactions propagate almost instantly on the net and they are confirmed in minutes. No matter how much time and space is between the sender and the recipient since everyone is in a global network of computers.
