Answer preview
Worth noting, the exchange of the cryptocurrency exchange is usually a simple process like sending an email. The primary user sends the bitcoin to a public ledger following cryptographic protocols that prevent double-spending. Generally, these bitcoins act as rewards for payments made. After a cryptocurrency exchange, an individual gets a bitcoin in a process known as mining. According to WeUseCoins (2014), miners get rewards from every payment made. In cryptographic protocols, blind signatures enhance privacy. These signatures are the secret codes or hash codes which verify ownership of the bitcoins. For individuals wanting to purchase bitcoins online, they have to open an account through Coinbase used in Europe, the USA, and the UK (WeUseCoins.com, n.d.). Another option is Spectrocoin, applicable in Europe and Bisq, a global registration system highly convenient due to its privacy. The other step is loading the account with cash and then place an order. Order execution is the final step that leads to the withdrawal of bitcoins.
