I dont like BitCoin for these reasons:

1. The whole idea that someone can turn on his computer/GPU and "bit mine" and earn money is ridiculous.
People should earn money when they work hard for it. Turning on a computer and leaving it to run does not and should not count.
This is a waste of electricity as well and therefore it causes greenhouse gases and has a carbon footprint.

2. One would think they came up with a new currency system so theft could be prevented. No, BC gets stolen all the time.
Why couldn't they "disable" the serial numbers of the currency that was stolen? Thats the kind of system that should have been designed.

3. BC is unstable. People lost a lot of money (one tiny example; there are probably hundreds and thousands) and they did nothing wrong. A good modern currency should not have this defect.

It does have positive points which is why many people are using it but it would have been nice if it didnt have the above problems.

One would think if a new digital currency was created it wouldnt have issues like this. Computers and software are so powerful now. It should have been possible to design a currency with none of the issues above.

"Then dont use it" Or "Why dont you make your own currency system?"
These are not valid responses so they shouldnt be said here.

0.022 BTC is $5 USD, which is 390 Indian rupees.
According to this website, that is one day's wage of an office assistant in India.
Have you done this basic maths?

Your inquiry does not look like a serious inquiry.
If it is, you will have to at least save 1000 or 10,000 times your saved amount to consider investing of any kind.

BTC is not a magic "get rich" quick pill as far as I can understand. Its like any other currency.

I checked both of these: "Bitcoin Core , Electrum"
The first wants to download 20GB of data into my computer. The second also seems to be some kind of software installation.

I just want to send some money to someone. That is all I want to do.
I can install software if thats what I have to do. But I thought I could send people money using a website that asks for my bank account/credit card like Paypal. That is fine with me.

What website should I use? I can use multiple websites if needed.

Thank you all! I will most likely be using BC then. Sounds pretty safe and anonymous.
I will look into those other websites for another wallet.

Ok. So its the receiving Bitcoin address like XfDfg455...
Trying to understand: Why would a person want to hide their Bitcoin address? Since there is no personal information attached with the transaction.

And I can always get a new address, correct? When I make a new wallet. On Blockchain.info there's a button for "New Address". I made another one and it is listed there now.
I could have one address for this transaction and I can create other addresses for a later transaction to a different recipient. So the two transactions cannot be linked, correct?
Just trying to understand why people would want to hide their address.

I just want to confirm that even the recipient can not know my real name, home address, phone number etc, right?

I'm confused. When people talk about the "address", is that the random identifier like
1415RPuMbBkagyAnC9mv3v3aZiHpTiFHar   (random address I just picked from live public transactions)
Or is it the IP address? If its the IP, where is that information available? I cannot see it in a transactions page:
https://blockchain.info/address/1BrpVMvvXRxz51WtaKg4toMTmBPWEHV7BE

I have to send money to someone using BitCoin and I want to remain fully anonymous to the recipient and to the public.

I have read a little about this subject and I've read that all transactions are public. So my questions are:

1. What information can be known to (1) the recipient, and to (2) the public?

2. I do not want my real name, address, email or phone number known to anyone (recipient and the public).
I am fine with anyone knowing the amount of the transaction.

So how can I stay as anonymous as possible? I want to jump through as little hoops as possible.
