Blockchain Vs. Bitcoin Vs. Cryptocurrency: Dr. Ben Goertzel explains blockchain to Joe Rogan

If you're still curious about the difference between blockchain, bitcoin and crypto, here's a great explanation by Dr. Ben Goertzel.

Bitcoin FAQs

New To Bitcoin?

The best way to obtain bitcoin is to earn it. Start off slowly with a bitcoin faucet.

There are many scams in the bitcoin community so I researched a few faucets that are legit. I've personally made over $1,000.

The best bitcoin faucet out there is Cointiply.

How Much Can You Make On Cointiply’s Bitcoin Faucet?

Using faucets will give you an understanding for how bitcoin works. Take about 3 months to understand bitcoin (security features, how to withdraw funds, how to receive funds, and how to protect your wallet) before investing in it. Best of all, there's no risk to you when you earn bitcoin through faucets and it can even be fun.

It's important to understand there is a learning curve to bitcoin, and bitcoin faucets like Cointiply can help new users join the crypto community without risking anything but time.

Who Created Bitcoin?

Rumors abound, but no one knows the creator by face. The person or group goes by the name Satoshi (based on the pronouns in the white paper, I believe Satoshi is a group). You can read the white paper by clicking on the link below:

Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System

Where can I purchase bitcoin?

If you're ready to make your first purchase, I recommend Binance. They also have some great tutorials.

Where can I trade Bitcoin/alt-coin?

In terms of new offerings for coins (ICOs), Binance is the best. That said, not all exchanges are the same. Let's explore what you should be looking for from an exchange...

As a quick primer: Exchanges are not the same as trading houses. Exchanges are places where you can buy cryptocurrency. They don't necessarily have the best markets. Trading houses specialize in making markets in certain crytpo-crosses. The trading house you go to depends on the amount of volume that house has in that cross pair. Just because Bittrex has the largest trading volume in BTC/ETH does not mean it has the largest trading volume for BCN/BTC. The best place to trade is the best trading house for your currency pair. You can find the trading house with the highest volume in your currency pair by going to Coinmarket Cap and looking up "Markets" for the crypto you're interested in. I like Binance because it offers a lot of ICOs that Bittrex doesn't. Still, the best trading house for you to trade in depends on the currency pair.
