The steady rise in the value of cryptocurrencies over the years is among the reasons you should statr buying bitcoin today

In 2009 when Bitcoin was launched, several people to whom the opportunity was offered remained sceptical about its sustainability. 

Over ten years, the steady increase of bitcoin, estimated at about 100% – 200% per year has left all the sceptics in regret. On the other hand, early crypto enthusiasts who bought Bitcoin expressed little regret as they have seen amazing returns. 

The question of when to buy crypto remains difficult to answer, following the high volatility of cryptocurrencies. However, the advantages that come with using Bitcoin are far more important and worth considering. 

Why buy Bitcoin?

The use of local currencies like the USD, Euro, or XAF in financial transactions appears to be more constraining than cryptocurrencies. 

Traditional finance systems though highly regulated, put users in inconvenient situations. For instance, high charges and sluggish transaction processes, which often characterise such systems, get customers pissed off most times. 

On the contrary, using Bitcoin is more convenient. With a bitcoin wallet, you can carry out transactions from anywhere at your convenience, without having to queue up in a bank or any money transfer agency. 

Interestingly, cryptocurrency platforms charge considerably low charges for both internal and cross-border transactions.
