Bitcoin Bull Breakout Brings In Fresh Crypto Blood, Industry Vet Offers Diversification Advice<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin is the first-ever cryptocurrency, designed by Satoshi Nakamoto. Nakamoto’s writings referenced gold<\/a> as he sought to create a digital currency that also had qualities of a commodity that would encourage its users to “collect” it.<\/p>\n

Today, there’s a better term for collecting BTC: hold. The limited supply of just 21 million BTC<\/a>, makes the asset even more finite than gold and beats the precious metal in just about every way possible. Bitcoin cannot be counterfeited, doesn’t need to be physically stored or carried, and can be moved at a fraction of the effort and cost, without any need for security or fear (unless you fat-finger, mistype an address).<\/p>\n
