BITCOIN

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, or a digital currency, that uses rules of cryptography for regulation and generation of units of currency. Bitcoin falls under the scope of cryptocurrency and was the first and most valuable among them. It is commonly called a decentralised digital currency.


A cryptocurrency (or crypto currency) is a digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange that uses cryptography to secure its transactions, to control the creation of additional units, and to verify the transfer of assets. Cryptocurrencies are classified as a subset of digital currencies and are also classified as a subset of alternative currencies and virtual currencies.


How does it works?

Bitcoins are completely virtual coins designed to be ‘self-contained’ for their value, with no need for banks to move and store the money.Once you own bitcoins, they possess value and trade just as if they were nuggets of gold in your pocket. You can use your bitcoins to purchase goods and services online, or you can tuck them away and hope that their value increases over the years. Bitcoins are traded from one personal 'wallet' to another.
A wallet is a small personal database that you store on your computer drive, on your smartphone, on your tablet, or somewhere in the cloud.
Bitcoin shares some similarities with real-world currencies, particularly its growing acceptance as a form of payment with more and more merchants, retailers and individuals, both online and offline. You can buy Microsoft products with Bitcoin, buy airline tickets through Expedia, or buy gift cards to superstores like Walmart.Yet Bitcoin is also very different from traditional currencies. Unlike dollars or pounds, Bitcoin isn't backed by any government. It's a completely decentralized form of money. Bitcoin isn't linked to any sort of central banking system or issuing authority, and that's a big part of its appeal — instead of being swallowed into a system that's often sullied by human greed and manipulation, this currency exists in an online world driven by mathematics and clever encryption protocols.
You can use Bitcoin for all sorts of real transactions. To do so, you first buy bitcoins however you like, either through your credit card, a bank account or even anonymously with cash. Then your bitcoins are transferred directly into your Bitcoin wallet, and you can send and receive payments directly to a buyer or seller without the need for a typical go-between, such as a bank or credit card company.
Person Behind Bitcoin


Satoshi Nakamoto is the name used by the unknown person or people who designed bitcoin and created its original reference implementation. As part of the implementation, they also devised the first block chain database. In the process they were the first to solve the double-spending problem for digital currency. They were active in the development of bitcoin up until December 2010.

Is Bitcoin Legal?
The legal status of bitcoin varies substantially from country to country and is still undefined or changing in many of them. Whilst the majority of countries do not make the usage of bitcoin itself illegal, its status as money (or a commodity) varies, with differing regulatory implications. While some countries have explicitly allowed its use and trade, others have banned or restricted it. Likewise, various government agencies, departments, and courts have classified bitcoins differently.
But for the most part it remains relatively safe to use as long as it is not tied to illicit purchases or activities. Many countries have issued statements indicating that bitcoin and other digital currencies are not regulated and do not exist as officially sanctioned currencies: a status that could put users at risk but would not have them violating any laws. Bitcoin is outright illegal in some countries, such as Iceland.
Depending on where and how you utilize bitcoin, it is important to remain up-to-date on the latest regulations concerning the digital currency. As laws change across borders, governing bodies and, increasingly, as the platform gains popularity, questions about bitcoin’s legality will continue to be raised.

Cheapest way to travel around the world 


Don’t wait to get rich before you see the world. Travel for cheap by prioritizing what’s important to you—and scrimp on everything else.

Can you afford to travel? It’s not a trick question, though people often approach it that way.
There’s no big secret to affording travel, other than to make it a priority. The real question: Do you want to travel?
Since you’re reading this article, we’ll assume your answer is yes.
Now that you’ve identified travel as one of your priorities, we’ll walk you through the best strategies for saving money on your next trip.
Even if you have a lot to spend, there’s no reason to blow all your money on unnecessary travel expenses.
If you’re pinching every penny of your regular budget you’ll have to do the same when it comes to planning a vacation.
The bottom line: You can afford to travel. Everyone can afford to travel for cheap.

1. Decide what you need—and what you can live without


The first step in your cheap travel adventure is to prioritize. But you probably already know how to do this with your day-to-day living expenses.
Some people want to live in a nice house, but are willing to drive a beater car. Others squeeze into minuscule living spaces in order to follow their dreams in exciting cities.
The little things count, too. Maybe you splurge on gourmet coffee but buy the store brand for everything else.
The same choices apply to travel. If you want to do it cheaply, you need to think of the experience as the ultimate prize. Everything else is negotiable.
Can you stay in a hostel because you’re going to spend most of your time sightseeing anyway? Will you make breakfast and dinner at home so you can eat out for lunch and enjoy a drink or two at night? Is there a budget airline that flies to your destination? Can you pack lightly enough that you don’t have to check a bag?
Of course, there’s no need to feel completely deprived. Just choose your splurge wisely—and make sure it fits in your budget.

2. Join a travel rewards program


You may have heard that airlines are switching to revenue-based loyalty programs, meaning that you earn points based on how much you spend rather than how many miles you fly.
While that may mean it takes longer to earn a free flight, there’s no reason not to start trying. It’s free to sign up and if you’re new to the program, you may be able to earn tens of thousands in bonus points for opening up a travel rewards credit card.
Travel rewards programs aren’t limited to airlines—hotels have them, too. And you can earn points on a wide variety of purchases through the loyalty program’s partners.
One of our favorite travel credit cards is the AXIS BANK travel rewards creit card,which has no annual or foreign transaction fees. That’s already big savings, and it means you don’t lose anything from keeping the card around.
You’ll get a neat 20,000 online bonus points, and you only have to spend $1,000 in the first 90 days of opening the account to qualify for them. What’s even nicer is that you’ll earn 1.5 points for every dollar you spend using your Bank of America® Travel Rewards Credit Card, and that’s without limitations.
If you’re a big spender, you might want to consider the ICICI BANK  Rewards Credit Card, which offers two miles for every dollar charged across all categories. You’ll also earn 50,000 bonus miles when you use your card for $3,000 worth of purchases within three months of opening the card.
Keep in mind, though, that this card has a $95 annual fee,m after the first year—only apply for it if you’re spending enough to make it worth it!
Learn more about the best travel rewards and start travel hacking, your way to a cheaper vacation.

3. Do your research to find the lowest airfare.


Airfare is a relatively easy category to save money on because the experience of flying is largely the same regardless of which airline you choose or how much you paid for your ticket.
When I’m planning a trip I like to start with google flights because it shows you how much you could save on a ticket if you alter your itinerary by a few days. But not every airline is listed, so you still need to look around to find the best deal.
Which budget is a good place to go next. You can search for cgeap flights on hundreds of airlines in over 200 countries.
Europe is an especially friendly place for budget airlines, but some are also branching out to offer international service. Norwaign  air offers budget fares from the east and west coast to destinations all over the world.
But to make sure you find the lowest possible ticket price, you’ll need to put a little more time in. Familiarize yourself with all of the airports that serve your destination. In many cases there may only be one, but larger cities tend to have multiple options.
Budget airlines usually fly in and out of smaller airports. Check the websites for the airport(s) you plan to use to get a list of all the airlines that stop there. Then you can compare fares on the airlines’ websites as well as on search engines like yatra and other vaccation planning sites.
Try to limit your packing to a carry-on bag so you can avoid checked luggage fees. You can do laundry in the middle of your trip if you need to—your vacation doesn’t have to be a fashion show.

4. Find a free place to stay

Do you have friends or family who live in interesting places? Plan a trip to their city and ask to sleep on a couch or spare bed. The best part about staying with someone you know (other than the free accommodation) is getting insider tips about what to do and see while you’re there.
Even if you don’t know anyone in your destination, you can use the Internet to find a free place to stay. Most people have heard of couch surfing, where you can find a free couch, bed, or space on the floor to sleep.
It pays to look for a host well in advance of your trip. The hospitality club and global freeloaders will also put you in touch with locals willing to host you and/or show you around town.
You may also be able to find a housesitting gig, which means Airbnb-like accommodations but for almost nothing. Mind my house charges $20 for an annual membership, which connects you to over 18,000 homeowners across the globe. There are currently about 200 “house sitter wanted” posts, many requiring some form of animal care.
House swapping is another option if you own your home. New and established home swapping sites such as HomeExchange, LoveHomeSwap, HomeLink, and Intervac allow you to list your house, browse other listings, and contact members about potential swaps. Most charge a monthly or annual membership fee but offer free trial periods so you can see if it’s for you.
What if you don’t need a whole house or don’t want to couchsurf? Try a hostel. They may not be free but they’re a good cheap accommodation option if you’re willing to stay in a dorm-style room.

5. List your space with airbnb

Unless you’re currently homeless (or your rental contract is expiring) you’ll be leaving an empty living space at home. Don’t let it stay empty.
Just as you’re trying to find cheap places to stay on your travels, there are thousands of people doing the same in your area.Take advantage! List your space with airbnb – you can earn a considerable amount of money, maybe even enough to cover your own cost of living while you’re away. This can be a great way to fund your dream adventure.

6. Curb your dining expenses by cooking at home

If you stay in any of the kinds of accommodations listed above, you should have access to a kitchen. Use it to save money on eating (and drinking) out.
Remember, the experience of travel is your priority, so who cares if you don’t get a complete break from washing dishes on your trip.
When you do want to enjoy a restaurant meal for the sake of pleasure or convenience, make it lunchtime. Even fancier restaurants usually offer reduced prices at lunch.
A similar strategy applies to drinking—look for happy hour specials.

7. Be flexible with a last-minute deal


If you’re not picky about the timing or destination of your next trip, you can save money with last-minute deals on hotel rooms, vacation packages and airfare.
  • Hotel Tonight provides discounted hotel rooms for same-day, next-day, and following-week stays.
  • Jetsetter advertises flash sales on hotel rooms and vacation packages.
  • Hipmunk displays flight deals for the upcoming week and weekend.

Summary

With a little advance planning, some flexibility, and the right attitude, there’s nothing standing between you and your dreams of exploration.
Cheap travel is as good for your soul as it is for your wallet. It prioritizes the joy of discovering a new place over the desire for a “luxury experience.” So stop making excuses and start looking for your next adventure.
