How to Buy Bitcoin at Deep Discounts?

What is Bitcoin?

Decentralised digital currency, Bitcoin plays on blockchain technology wherein transactions are scrutinised by network of nodes via cryptography and recorded in a public distributor ledger. Bitcoin came into existence in 2008 with the inventor as Satoshi Nakamoto. Its creation was through digital mining as a reward of complex problem’s solution. These could be swapped for other currencies, services & products. Bitcoin has received unfavourable remarks and criticism on issues such as illegal transactions, price volatility, high electricity consumption, thefts from exchanges, etc. However, BTC (Bitcoin) exists and finds its application at various places with being accepted by several merchants. BTC generated wealth for value investors and has given quick money to short-term investors or traders over its high price volatility.

In 2011, the price started at $0.30 per bitcoin, but in the year 2013, BTC rose from US$99.8 in October 2, 2013 to US$1,200 on December 7, 2013, showing a return of 1102.40%. Then, it declined to its 2 years low at US$164.9 on January 14, 2015, and then made its all-time high at US$19,891 on December 17, 2017, which was an increase of 11,962% over the course of 2 years. It again declined to US$3,216 on December 15, 2018, which was a decrease of ~83.83% from its all-time high. It rose again to a decent level of US$13,764 on June 26, 2019. It is currently trading at US$10,346.6, dipping down by 2.09 percent (as on September 9, 2019, 23:28:24 UTC-4). On the back of the statistics, we can have a fair idea that with every dip, there is a buying or accumulation opportunity for whopping returns. An investor should consider buying Bitcoin when it is trading at its low levels and prefer exit at its highest levels.
