Bitcoin first cryptocurrency and the most popular cryptocurrency but hard to mine now :(

TypicalHog

Yes, sadly, only the big ASIC farms can mine it profitably. It's also sad to see just 2 pools control more than 50% of the block production (pools still consist of many smaller miners which can migrate, but it's still not a good thing). Imagine if both of them got compromised/colluded to not mine certain TXs etc. And just ONE company (Bitmain) is producing most of the ASICs.

It's become corrupted thanks to the blockstream. How much do I have to pay fee for one transacion? 10$?! Are you fagging kidding me?!!! No thank you! I'll use Bitcoin Cash icon Bitcoin Cash where fees are almost not existent and people actually use it to buy things in shops.

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer digital currency. Peer-to-peer (P2P) means that there is no central authority to issue new money or keep track of transactions. Instead, these tasks are managed collectively by the nodes of the network. Bitcoins can be sent easily through the Internet, without having to trust middlemen. Transactions are designed to be computationally prohibitive to reverse. Be safe from instability caused by fractional reserve banking and central banks. The limited inflation of the Bitcoin system’s money supply is distributed evenly (by CPU power) throughout the network, not monopolized by banks.
