In some regions of the world, the financial system makes moving money around the world slow, costly and inconvenient due to friction and capital controls. But e-currency exchange platforms such as NairaEx aims towards making Bitcoin purchase and sale more convenient and transparent.
Bitcoin is often touted as being the perfect solution to bring financial services to people living in unbanked and underbanked nations of the world. Traditional financial institutions often don’t see the benefit in investing in these areas, as the costs far outweigh the benefits.
How Bitcoins Are Created
The Bitcoin was founded upon mathematical proof which stipulates that there can only ever be 21 million Bitcoins. Unlike other currencies, no more can be printed. New Bitcoins are released into circulation by rewarding miners for their work in using specialised computers in processing and verifying Bitcoin transactions.
Price Determination For Bitcoins
Like other currencies and commodities, the value of Bitcoin fluctuates wildly based on supply and demand and its perceived value. In October 2009, a first exchange rate was published, listing the value of 1,309 Bitcoins at $1.
Bitcoins were cheap and throughout the following year, they continued to trade for fractions of a cent. The first known transaction with Bitcoin occurred in 2010 when a Florida resident offered 10,000 Bitcoins to anyone who would order him a pizza. One user in London agreed, making a long-distance phone call to a Papa John’s and cementing the first Bitcoin transaction in history.
Bitcoin which started gaining popularity around 2013 can be broken down into smaller units, the smallest being one hundred millionth of a Bitcoin – called a Satoshi, after the anonymous founder of Bitcoin.
