Blockchains are best known for their crucial role in cryptocurrency systems, such as Bitcoin, for maintaining a secure and decentralised record of transactions.

What are the advantages of Bitcoin?
Payment freedom – It is possible to send and receive bitcoins anywhere in the world at any time. No bank holidays. No borders. No bureaucracy. Bitcoin allows its users to be in full control of their money.
- Choose your own fees – There is no fee to receive bitcoins, and many wallets let you control how large a fee to pay when spending. Higher fees can encourage faster confirmation of your transactions. Fees are unrelated to the amount transferred, so it’s possible to send 100,000 bitcoins for the same fee it costs to send 1 bitcoin. Additionally, merchant processors exist to assist merchants in processing transactions, converting bitcoins to fiat currency and depositing funds directly into merchants’ bank accounts daily. As these services are based on Bitcoin, they can be offered for much lower fees than with PayPal or credit card networks.
- Fewer risks for merchants – Bitcoin transactions are secure, irreversible, and do not contain customers’ sensitive or personal information. This protects merchants from losses caused by fraud or fraudulent chargebacks, and there is no need for PCI compliance. Merchants can easily expand to new markets where either credit cards are not available or fraud rates are unacceptably high. The net results are lower fees, larger markets, and fewer administrative costs.
- Security and control – Bitcoin users are in full control of their transactions; it is impossible for merchants to force unwanted or unnoticed charges as can happen with other payment methods. Bitcoin payments can be made without personal information tied to the transaction. This offers strong protection against identity theft. Bitcoin users can also protect their money with backup and encryption.
- Transparent and neutral – All information concerning the Bitcoin money supply itself is readily available on the block chain for anybody to verify and use in real-time. No individual or organization can control or manipulate the Bitcoin protocol because it is cryptographically secure. This allows the core of Bitcoin to be trusted for being completely neutral, transparent and predictable. (Source Bitcoin.org)
What are the disadvantages of Bitcoin?
1. When bitcoin was created in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto a limit was set of 21 million bitcoins that could ever exist which is why some believe it is so scarce but its for this reason that Bitcoin is so valuable also.
2. There are no government regulations because it is a decentralised currency and it is not regulated by a central bank therefore Bitcoin transactions don’t come with legal protection and are not reversible.
3. Transactions made with Bitcoin are final and irreversible so nothing can be done if the wrong amount is sent or its gone to the wrong recipient.
4. As its popularity undoubtedly grows its still developing as a major currency force. Unlike using a credit/debit card it still has limitations where it can be used. Buying property with Crypto Currency, North Cyprus
