Introduction to the world of Cryptocurrencies
Many of us are already familiar with the word cryptocurrency or bitcoin, its exposure in the media and its implementation by large companies such as Paypal, Tesla or Microsoft have made it clear that it is here to stay. Of all the currencies (also called tokens), Bitcoin (BTC) has defined the cryptocurrency space and is now the most dominant currency in the market. BTC is a decentralized peer-to-peer cryptographic currency system, which allows transactions through digital units of exchange. Basically, it is a new form of payment in order to eliminate intermediaries such as banks, and preserve anonymity while preserving transparency. It was launched in 2009 and for many people it is presented as an alternative to fiat currencies such as the euro or the U.S. dollar. Their decentralized status means that Bitcoins are not issued by banks or regulated by a central authority, but are mined and each transaction is recorded on a blockchain.
Maybe you have also heard about Altcoins, these are alternative digital currencies to Bitcoin, basically they refer to all cryptocurrencies other than BTC. Examples of altcoins with large market capitalizations include BNB, Cardano, Ethereum, Chainlink and Tether, among others. You may even hear the term “Stable Coin”, which means that they are pegged to the value of the Euro or Dollar and do not fluctuate in relation to them.
The benefits of paying with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies
The greatest benefit: Discretion and anonymity
Your transactions will never be associated with your identity, therefore, we guarantee user anonymity, unless you publish your bitcoin transactions by choice, your payments are anonymous. Tracking is similar to cash transactions, it is not impossible, but it is not easy or likely. The way that most protects your anonymity is to operate from a hard wallet.
To receive or send payments it is only necessary to provide an anonymous alphanumeric address that can change with each transaction. Payments can also be made using QR codes.
More benefits of paying with Cryptocurrencies:
- Ease of transaction (no swift, no iban)
- Autonomy over its own money due to its decentralized nature
- No taxes on purchases
- Very low transaction fees. Ideal for international transactions and frequent travelers.
- No bank tracking on larger payments
- No need to be aware of holidays
- Your wallet can be stored online or offline.
- No bank intermediaries.
To be considered: Volatility and returns
Understanding the implications of price volatility is very important, you will have to accept the risk that can come with it, although Bitcoin and Ethereum may offer more stability, their prices have varied greatly even in the last 6 months.
How to Avoid Volatility Risks: Stable Coins
It can operate entirely in stable currencies. These currencies are directly linked to the price of fiat currencies, i.e. Dollar, Euro…etc. Look for the following currencies to trade with: USDT, USDC, BUSD, UST, DAI (listed by popularity).
There is another key aspect, this is a PRO for suppliers, but could be a CON for first time customers. When paying with cryptocurrencies, chargebacks are not available, you should only pay legitimate suppliers and do some due diligence before paying in cryptocurrencies to a company you don’t know.
