Can You Trade Bitcoin for Free?

Bitcoin is a digital asset and a payment system invented by Satoshi Nakamoto. Transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded in a public dispersed ledger called a blockchain.

Bitcoin is unique in that there are a finite number of them: 21 million.

Bitcoins are created as a reward for a process known as mining. They can be exchanged for other currencies, products, and services.

NOTE: WARNING: Trading Bitcoin for free is not possible. Trading Bitcoin involves significant risk and can result in loss of money. Before trading Bitcoin, please ensure that you understand the risks involved and seek independent financial advice if necessary.

As of February 2015, over 100,000 merchants and vendors accepted bitcoin as payment.

Bitcoin can be traded for free if you use a broker that doesn’t charge any fees for trading or for deposits/withdrawals. Some brokers even offer bonuses in the form of free coins when you open an account with them.

The only real costs associated with trading Bitcoin are the spreads (difference between the bid and ask prices), which vary depending on the broker but are usually quite low.
