10 Things You’ll Want to Know About Bitcoin Before You Buy It

Thank you for sharing!

In recent weeks, there’s been a lot more chatter and interest in Bitcoin again. To say I’ve been asked about it more in the last two weeks, then in two years of running Family Finance Mom, would be an understatement. “Should I invest in Bitcoin?” “What is Bitcoin?” “How can I invest in Bitcoin?” Suddenly, it’s gone from the fringe of finance to mainstream, and everyone is worried about missing out. Our FFM Book Club discussion of The Mandibles may have also contributed to this… But before you race to buy Bitcoin for your investment portfolio, you need to understand what it is, how it works, and why it may or may not be the best investment for you.
