Bitcoin FAQs

As with anything, there are complexities everywhere you look. But if we peel back the layers, or said a better way, if we change our perspective to “keep it simple, stupid”, then we find a clear and concise solution to our everyday problems. My goal in this blog post, as a part of our BC Consulting BIPs Blogs, is to provide as close as possible to a one-liner answer to the questions posed below. Obviously, do not take them as absolute truths and do your own research because there is always another layer deeper that you can go down, aka the Bitcoin rabbit hole.

It has to earn your trust, and then you get to choose it. As time moves forward, Bitcoin continues to prove to be sound money.

Is Bitcoin volatile? —

I would say that if you have 10 BTCs in cold storage then you will have 10 BTCs in years/decades from now. It is the environment around Bitcoin that is volatile.

Can Bitcoin’s 21 Million coins change?

Bitcoin is truly scarce at 21M bitcoins! Bitcoin is certain in only 21M, just like death is certain for all of us.

note: 21M coins is set based on consensus in the Bitcoin open source code. I don’t believe it will ever change.
