Gold unseen by Nepalis: Bitcoin

Bitcoin may sound like a coin of a country. But no, Bitcoin is an Internet-based cryptocurrency invented in 2009.

Bitcoin is an electronic currency made up of complex mathematical problems, in which no central bank or institution has control. However, it can also be called a decentralized electronic property.

How much is Bitcoin?

It may sound strange, but now the market price of a bitcoin is 6.7 million. Its total market capitalization is about one trillion US dollars, which is only about seven times less than the gold market capitalization.

It is surprising that the price of Bitcoin, which is not even one US dollar at a time, is so high.

How is Bitcoin extracted?

Bitcoin can only be extracted after solving a complex problem using a powerful computer, which can be captured and placed in a Bitcoin wallet, a process also known as mining.

Is it possible to buy stock trading anyway?

A total of 21 million bitcoins have been mined up to 18 million so far.

Why is Bitcoin so popular?

The currency of any country is controlled by its central or national bank. The central banks are the institutions that can reduce the number of these currencies.

But Bitcoin is in limited numbers and is popular because it is a decentralized currency (out of control).

It is impossible to hack because blockchain technology is used. That is why it has become popular in terms of security.

Bitcoin in Nepal

So far, the trading of Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency in Nepal has been declared illegal by the National Bank and it cannot be said that Bitcoin will not be traded here shortly.

German users have been using DuckDuckGo as the default search engine in Brave Browser, so Brave Search will now be the default search engine.

Brave has stated in its blog post that it will be changing the default browser in other countries from next month.

Brave Browser has been gaining popularity in recent times, with tools that block third-party ads and users' browsing activity on websites.

For the time being, the company has stated that there will be no advertisement on the Brave search engine. In the future, users will have to pay a certain fee for placing advertisements in it and wanting to use it without looking at the advertisements, the company said.
