How to Get Bitcoins?

Electronic money such as bitcoin can be stored in a digital wallet on a cloud server or on the owner's personal computer.

The wallet in question is more like a virtual bank account that allows users to send and receive bitcoins, invest and transact.

Apart from being in the form of transactions, how do you get bitcoins?

The most popular thing that people often do is 'mining' bitcoin.

People even compete with each other to mine bitcoins using their computers by solving very complex math puzzles.

This is how bitcoin was created.

Currently, the winner who successfully completes the math puzzle is rewarded with 12.5 bitcoins (or equivalent to Rp. 1.4 billion) every 10 minutes.

It's amazing, isn't it?

Because it is so tempting, many websites out there such as websites providing torrents/downloading software or free movies in general even insert viruses in the form of javascript and are automatically installed on visitors' computers.

Then the virus will 'mine' bitcoins on the visitor's computer, causing the computer to be slow and start to heat up easily.

In addition to 'mining' and transactions between users, another way to get bitcoin that is now very popular is through trading.

Many companies have become marketplace platforms that are specifically engaged in bitcoin trading.

Bitcoins are now traded at the prevailing exchange rate.

Only 1 bitcoin, the valuation can be equivalent to more than IDR 115 million. Crazy!
