Bitcoin — The first modern cryptocurrency!

Ever since the development of Bitcoin, the demand for digital currencies or cryptocurrencies has seen significant growth. Although we have thousands of cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin is considered to be the top-most and widely accepted currency.

The value of Bitcoin has seen a tremendous increase. From $10,000 to more than $30,000, today Bitcoin tops the list of versatile cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin is developed using the most complex algorithms that prevent unauthorized users from duplicating or creating Bitcoins. The cryptography based on advanced mathematical and computer engineering principles made it impossible to break Bitcoin’s source code and manipulate its supply.

Now the question is, what can you actually buy with Bitcoin? Well, the answer is quite simple. You can buy a lot but from a limited number of retailers! You can purchase goods from Amazon but using third-party services.

Although Bitcoin is the most efficient currency, it has its limitations. There are numerous restrictions on the direct purchasing of goods or services using Bitcoins.

The vast majority of airlines allow users to pay for airline tickets using Bitcoins. Almost 600 airlines accept Bitcoin at their checkout. Also, Expedia once accepted Bitcoins for hotel bookings.
