A Bitcoin Exchange is a digital market that allows cryptocurrency trading and the the exchange of classical currencies (EUR, USD, etc.) to digital currencies (BTC, ETH, etc.).

A Bitcoin exchange is an online platform that facilitates the buying, selling, and trading of cryptocurrencies. It allows users to exchange traditional (fiat) currencies such as the Euro (EUR), US Dollar (USD), and others for digital currencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and more. These platforms act as intermediaries between buyers and sellers and often provide tools for market analysis, trading orders, and secure storage of assets.

BASIC QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

FAQ BITCOIN EXCHANGES

What are Cryptocurrencies?

Cryptocurrencies are virtual (digital) currencies that operate on a decentralized network using cryptography to secure transactions and a public ledger called the blockchain. The blockchain records all coin transfers. The cryptocurrency ecosystem includes both coins and tokens.

What is the Blockchain?

The blockchain is an open-source, decentralized technology that uses a public ledger to verify and record all transactions of a specific cryptocurrency. After a certain number of transactions, a new block is created. This block is a database entry that contains information about both current and previous transactions. Blockchain operations are carried out by a network of millions of community-run computers.

What is Spread?

Spread is the difference between the BID and ASK prices. In our comparison table, the "SPREAD" shows the difference between ASK and BID relative to the BTC/USD Fix Price.

Spread Calculation:

  • { (Buying Price – Selling Price) / Fix Price } × 100

Where,

  • Fix Price = (Ask Price + Bid Price) / 2

What is a Wallet?

A Bitcoin wallet stores, manages, and transfers Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Bitcoins are actually stored as private keys (secret numbers).

There are different types of wallets:

(i) Smartphone-based wallets (use the phone’s camera to scan QR codes)

(ii) PC-based wallets

(iii) Wallets on central servers (require creating an online account)

(iv) Specialized hardware wallets (e.g., Trezor or Ledger)

What is Bitcoin Mining?

Bitcoin mining is the process of verifying all Bitcoin transactions and adding them to the public ledger (blockchain). Miners receive new Bitcoins as a reward for their work. The process is entirely decentralized, with miners operating worldwide. As more miners join the network, mining becomes less profitable.

How to Choose a Cryptocurrency Exchange?

Cryptocurrency exchanges are common platforms for buying or selling Bitcoin and other digital coins. Key factors to consider when choosing an exchange include:

  • Safety of funds (company location, years in operation)

  • Available deposit and withdrawal methods (coins, cards, bank wire, Neteller, PayPal, etc.)

  • Fees and spreads between Ask/Bid prices

  • Responsiveness of customer service

  • Online reviews (note: around 50% may be fake)
