I just joined the community and then my father passed away suddenly, so I'm trying to figure this all out while dealing with everything else. I'm really trying to wrap my head around how all this works. I've bought some Bitcoin and held it, watching it go up and down. I've also used Bitcoin to purchase stuff. This concept is new to me! If anyone can shed some light on how this method is different and actually works, I'd greatly appreciate any help you can offer. Sorry for the Nubbie question.
