Hey guys I've been looking at the bitcon thing for a while now, and I want to know is it worth using and if so what should I do to maximize my safety and witch apps are the best for doing so?
Cryptocurrencies are only truly valuable to those who are invested in them. Right now, a single bitcoin is worth $788. But that value fluctuates wildly based on the creation of new bitcoins, people discovering old ones, and market shenanigans.
There aren't many vendors which accept any kind of cryptocurrency, because it's so volatile, and unknown. Most vendors will be selling to very niche crowds, though there have been attempts to make bitcoin more mainstream, which haven't exactly taken off.
If you're actually interested in cryptocurrencies, I'd suggest embedding yourself in a community who can give you up-to-date information, answer questions for you etc, because I haven't done anything with bitcoin since 2011.
