Looking to invest in the largest and oldest cryptocurrency? Great choice. Bitcoin not only brought the world a revolutionary new payment system, but also instigated the creation of multiple industries from there. Today, we’re going to give you a step by step guide on how to buy Bitcoin with Euros and tap into this €250 billion industry. 

What Is Bitcoin?

To those new around here, here is a brief overview of the legendary cryptocurrency. Created in 2008 and announced to the world through a white paper, Bitcoin officially launched its network in early January of 2009. Created by an anonymous entity going by the name of Satoshi Nakamoto, the identity or identities of those behind the conception of cryptocurrencies still remains a mystery. Bitcoin is designed to be a peer to peer payment system, eradicating the need for a third party or middleman to facilitate the payment. 

Completely decentralized, Bitcoin is operated by a network of nodes around the world, who follow the same protocol rules and maintain the network. Should anyone try to deviate from the protocol, the rest of the network will immediately pick this up and correct the error. Since Bitcoin’s launch in 2009, one BTC is now valued at over €13,000, deeming it the most profitable asset class over the past decade.
