1. What is Bitcoin? What do you know about it?
Bitcoin is a cruptocurrency. I´d say the most popular one and maybe, the first one launched to the market some years ago.
2. Have you invested in Bitcoin? What are the advantages and disadvantages of Bitcoin currency?
No, I´ve never invested in Bitcoins.
The main advantages are:
Benefit, there are araising their value since they were launched,
Safety, even if the crypto market seems unsecure, the way cryptos are defined is really safe.
A disadvantage for me is that you can´t use it in a regular, common way. There are still few shops where you can use them to pay for your grocery or daily staff.

3. Is Bitcoin the future or is just a gamble?
I don´t know if Bitcoin is the future, but, after some years after their birth, I´d say they are not the present of currency market yet.

You put a lot of efforts in practicing. Job well done so far!

No, I´ve never invested in Bitcoins. The main advantages of this cryptocurrency are its benefits. They have been increasingtheir value since they were launched. Another pro is safety. Even if the crypto market seems unsecured, the way cryptos are defined is really safe.
