bitcoin how to get started with bitcoin“What Is BitCoins?”

Someone recently emailed and asked this question.  It’s much more grammatically correct to ask “What ARE BitCoins”.

But being asked the question in this way, it was interesting for us to note…

We didn’t yet have a guide about BitCoin/BitCoins on ShowMeHowToDothis.

(We have been playing in the Bitcoin space for a while now.  We’ve even made some free videos about BitCoin.  But with the videos we had made, we didn’t even realize that a guide was needed.)

But clearly, someone asking “What is bitcoins”, gives us a clear idea that there are plenty of people who don’t understand or know the BitCoin world at all.

A quick answer…

In short, to get started with BitCoin, here’s the most basic part to understand.

BitCoin is a form of currency, just like a US Dollar, a British Pound, a Euro, or a Japanese Yen.

how to get started with bitcoin (Bitcoin is NOT a physical currency.)

Unlike USD or EUR or Japanese Yen, Bitcoin is NOT a physical currency. That’s the most basic thing to understand when you want to get started with BitCoin.

Where the US Dollar is labeled USD, a BitCoin’s symbol is BTC.

Unlike the Dollar, pound, or Yen, (and unlike what’s shown in the picture on this page), BitCoins are not physical currency.

BitCoin (and other AltCoins) are DIGITAL currency.

This means that there’s not really a “physical” form” of curency called a BitCoin.

 

You’re going to learn, starting in chapter 1, about what BitCoins are.

You’ll also learn in chapter one (with step-by-step instructions), how to sign up for an account that will let you purchase Bitcoin.
