What is Bitcoin?

Created by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin is a digital currency that operates free of any central point of control such as a government or bank. It is the preeminent cryptocurrency, after which all others — in both price and inception — follow. Its perk of borderless, near-instant transactions is offset by its unpredictable and volatile price action that can differ in the thousands of dollars from one day to the next.

How does Bitcoin work?

Bitcoin is totally different from the currency we use as cash. Completely digital, it is not printed or produced by a bank. All Bitcoin transactions are sent over a peer-to-peer network rather than to a central authority (such as a bank) before reaching the receiver. All operations are verified by a network of connected computers and stored on a ledger called a blockchain. Unlike an endlessly-printable currency that is produced and issued by a federal bank, there is a limit to how much Bitcoin currently exists and how much will exist. Based on the idea of the gold standard, Bitcoin is still being mined today, with the final Bitcoin expected to be mined in 120 years from now. Today, 19.1 million Bitcoin tokens are in circulation and no more than 21 million Bitcoin will ever exist, which has opened discussions as to whether the token is a store of value, like gold.

Why should you trade Bitcoin?

All traders are enthusiastic about investing money where there is profit to be made in a short period of time. Despite the risks, Bitcoin’s high volatility is conducive to significant profit, even when simply buying the dips.

Today, the preeminent cryptocurrency is accepted as a payment method on almost all online platforms, including big companies such as  Microsoft,  Starbucks,  PayPal and many others.

What’s the price of Bitcoin?

As we mentioned earlier, Bitcoin is volatile. At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price is around $21,000; this time last year, it was over $45,000. While the Bitcoin price does not rely on any single country’s economy, there are factors that can influence it, and others that may not despite expectations otherwise. Since the Bitcoin supply is limited to 21 million, there is a closer correlation to supply and demand affecting its price. The more people buy Bitcoin, the more demand there is for it. Conversely, when few people buy Bitcoin, demand decreases, thus reducing the price.

How to trade Bitcoin on Olymp Trade

There are two ways to trade Bitcoin on Olymp Trade.

1️⃣ Fixed time trading

Fixed Time Trades mode is available on Olymp Trade’s platform. In this mode, you can make trades for a fixed time and receive profit from a correct forecast about the stock, currency and prices. You can trade Bitcoin by seeing the buy and sell orders via technical indicators and oscillators. If the forecast is correct, you get up to 92% of the return. Otherwise, you risk losing the full amount.

2️⃣ Forex trading

You can also trade Bitcoin using the Forex mode on Olymp Trade. In this mode, you can apply a multiplier of up to 10, so if you open an Up trade and the price goes according to your prediction, you get 10 times the profit. Forex trading is also beneficial because there is a smaller chance of losing trades. There are also the Stop Loss and Take Profit options on the platform to better safeguard your earnings.

Conclusion

Before trading Bitcoin, you need to analyze its price action and the market conditions, study money management, the Martingale system, support and resistance level points, good trade entries and time duration. If you master these, you’ll be a force to be reckoned with in the crypto market.
