Bitcoin for Beginners…

Now that Jackpocket is offering Bitcoin as an additional payment option, we wanted to provide some background on what Bitcoin is and why we’re excited to introduce it.

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is a modern digital currency that was created in 2009 to make online payment transactions easier. Bitcoin decentralizes transactions by eliminating the traditional middle-men of payment processing: big banks and government entities. Because Bitcoin transactions do not require personal information, it’s considered to be a safer payment platform as users are less exposed to fraud and identity theft. For these reasons we believe Bitcoin is a great addition to our payment options.

How Are Bitcoins Made?

Bitcoins are created through a process called “Mining”. Mining is the action of solving a series of complex mathematical algorithms digitally. Once a mining problem is solved the Bitcoin is created.

Owning Bitcoins

Bitcoins are stored in “digital wallets” which exist on the users’ mobile device or computer. Your “digital” or “Bitcoin Wallet” is essentially a virtual online bank account that allows you to manage your Bitcoins by sending or receiving Bitcoins in the exchange of goods and/or services.

Why Bitcoin?

Jackpocket is extremely proud to be integrating Bitcoin because it will elevate the payment experience for our users. Unlike credit cards, Bitcoin transactions don’t require sharing personal and financial information. Therefore, payments are risk-free and avoid threats of fraud or identity theft. Bitcoin payments are also more time-efficient. While credit card taansactions often involve the grueling process of filling out billing forms, Bitcoin transactions only require a single scan and two clicks. Finally, because there are no processing fees, Bitcoin is cheaper for merchants and consumers per transaction made.

There are many benefits to using BitPay as our Bitcoin funding platform. BitPay is the largest and most reliable Bitcoin Processor in the world. That means BitPay works with more merchants and annually makes more transactions than any other Bitcoin processor internationally (roughly 60K annually). Finally, BitPay also has the ability to integrate with any Bitcoin Wallet available in the app store. This provides further convenience to any user who wishes to start funding their account using Bitcoin.
