Ok, so what would you need to start with Bitcoin?
There are a plethora of different ways to do it. You can just go to http://www.weusecoins.com/en/getting-started and download your free, open-source Bitcoin wallet for whatever computer you use, Windows, Mac or Linux. Alternatively, you can create your wallet on
a website, for example, https://coinbase.com/ or https://blockchain.info/
wallet. Both sites also offer mobile applications (iOS and Android), so your Bitcoin wallet can be always at hand. To open an account, you just need an email address and a password. A recently added possibility is to open a Bitcoin WMX purse at Webmoney (http://www. wmtransfer.com/).
Now, after you have opened a web account or installed an original Bitcoin program, you are ready to roll. You can buy your bitcoins using cash, bank wire transfer, Moneygram, or credit cards.
Bitcoin price: Everything (or almost everything) is possible. Nowadays, Bitcoin has
become a valid currency, just like anything else. Contrary to other currencies, it is not backed by any government or organization, it does not have any gold value behind it. However, as we all know, being backed by a government does not protect currencies from huge fluctuations in price. In the end, the price of any currency is defined by offer and demand. If the currency is useful, if you can
buy something for it, it will retain its value. Bitcoin started very low. The first documented purchase was 10,000 BTC (that is the official currency symbol for Bitcoin) for $25-worth of pizza. Since that, the value of Bitcoin has increased dramatically: BTC is currently trading at around $100 for a single bitcoin. More than 250,000 users use Bitcoin on a daily basis.
