Cryptocurrency is gaining in popularity with each day. Whether it is its extreme volatility or promise of high returns, people are curious and drawn towards them. These virtual coins are sort of a breather to those who feared losing money in the market at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, and an enigma to new investors. Usually, when people talk about cryptocurrency, they invariably refer to Bitcoin, the largest and oldest of them all. People can get Bitcoin primarily in two ways: either by directly investing through online exchanges or by mining using sophisticated computer rigs. Investing in cryptocurrency is somewhat similar to trading in stocks.
