FAQs
- What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is an open-source monetary system for storing and transmitting an asset of value and is the world’s largest and most recognized digital asset. Bitcoin is managed by its users and enables financial transactions on a peer-to-peer network basis. Transactions are verified, recorded, and secured on a public ledger called a “blockchain.”
- What Bitcoin capabilities will Visions Federal Credit Union offer?
Members will have the option to buy, sell, and hold Bitcoin through digital banking, view transactions and receipts.
- How secure is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin relies on previous innovations in computer science, such as digital signatures and cryptographic hashing, and combines them in a unique manner that is reinforced by economic incentives. Digital signatures provide strong control of assets, while cryptographic hashing and the economic incentives of mining assure that no one entity controls the network and that transactions between users are valid. These features give Bitcoin unprecedented security and transparency.
- Is Bitcoin federally insured?
No. The buying and selling of Bitcoin is not insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF).
- How are the prices of Bitcoin determined for buy and sell orders?
The price is determined by the current market; Visions Federal Credit Union does not set or determine pricing.
- Can I use my Bitcoin purchased through digital banking to transact?
No. At this time, you will only be able to buy, sell, and hold Bitcoin.
