Bitcoin is digital gold. This is maybe the most discussed thesis in the last two years throughout the media when you are diving deeper into the world’s biggest cryptocurrency. Many analysts and investors are looking for hard money because they fear inflation. But Bitcoin was created to be a monetary network, and therefore it is digital cash and can be used for payments.

While Bitcoin is not accepted in many day-to-day transactions, the number of online shops and businesses accepting BTC is growing more than ever. It remains open if a life without Euros or cash is possible. Only a few Bitcoiners opted for the ultimate step, only spending and accepting Bitcoin. But you don’t have to go this far.
