What is Bitcoin? Bitcoins are a virtual commodity that have many similar properties to traditional cash Utilizing strong cryptography and a peer-to-peer network, Bitcoin serves as the first currency without a central issuer

There are currently about 11 million Bitcoins in circulation, there will only ever be 21 million

Unlike Dollars and most other currencies can only be divided into two decimal points, Bitcoins can be divided down to eight decimal points; these units are called ‘Satoshis’.

Bitcoin Terminology Bitcoin Wallet is loosely the equivalent of a physical wallet on the

Bitcoin network. The wallet actually contains your private keys which allow you to spend the Bitcoins allocated to your Bitcoin addresses in the block chain

Bitcoin Mining is the process of making computer hardware do mathematical calculations for the Bitcoin network to confirm transactions

Bitcoin Block Chain is a public record of all Bitcoin transactions, in chronological order. The block chain is shared between all Bitcoin users. It is used to verify the balance of Bitcoin addresses

Bitcoin Private Key is a secret piece of data that proves your right to spend Bitcoins from a specific Bitcoin address through a cryptographic signature. Each Bitcoin address has its own unique private key.

Fee Schedule

Atlas uses add/remove style pricing, where it is possible to earn commissions instead of paying them. Traders earn 0.1% when adding and pay 0.4% when “removing”.

"Adding" happens when you place a limit order that stays open on the book before getting matched by another. The trader placing the order that takes yours "removes."

Margin Interest Rate for Leverage and Short Selling:Atlas offers margin trading. When a trader uses leverage to achieve higher profits, the trader effectively borrows money to maintain a larger position.

We Need You The bitcoin market is a brand new market. There are no derivatives or other proxies for bitcoin that add pricing factors to the market.

The value of bitcoin fluctuates dramatically because there are no large liquidity providers to support temporary buyer/seller imbalances.

The important factor is the acceptance of bitcoin by the global currency marketplace. The more bitcoin gains market participants and acceptance as a form of payment, the greater its value and long-term growth prospects
