Bitcoin (ARKW) has seen its price plunge since the start of 2018 due to news that world leaders are planning to implement regulations on digital currencies.

If you have purchased bitcoin currency, and it’s now in your digital wallet, there will likely be a time that you’ll want to conduct a transaction with it.

Digital assets based on DLT (distributed ledger technology) allows users to initiate and verify their own transactions without any central authority such as banks.

Investors (SPX-INDEX) around the world looked to gold (GLD) (IAU) for the rescue during the slump in bitcoin prices.

The price of bitcoin (SOXL) (SOXX) has risen 69,278.6% over the last five years. On the other hand, in the last seven days, it has plummeted 27% to $12,466.

Deutsche Bank is planning to use blockchain technology in currency settlement, trade processing, and derivative contracts.

Despite the higher number of transactions that need to be updated regularly by users, the transaction capacity is intentionally kept very low by the bitcoin founders.

The founders of bitcoin have set a limit of 21 million bitcoins that can be mined over a period of time. Of those, 16.8 million are already in circulation.

Before updating data on a blockchain, users must agree about the veracity of the transaction through a process called consensus.

Blockchain technology holds a lot of promise due to its many advantages such as transparency, faster transactions at lower costs, and a reliable system.

In DLT (distributed ledger technology), details of the transactions are recorded in multiple places called blocks. These blocks are then chained together on a shared network.

Bitcoin has been rallying for the past year, with some proponents advocating that it could replace fiat currencies in the future.

In the case of bitcoin, the safety of the system is linked with the bitcoin algorithm, which miners keep solving to generate new coins and maintain the system.
