 TITLE: What Is Bitcoin and How Does It Work? CONTENT: Will Buying Bitcoin Impact Your Credit?\n---------------------------------------\nThe money you keep in checking, savings or investment accounts doesn't impact your credit history or scores. Your income and overall net worth also doesn't factor into your credit. As a result, purchasing Bitcoin won't affect your credit. However, if you buy a lot of Bitcoin hoping to make a quick buck and then its value drops, you might find yourself unable to pay other bills—and missing those payments could hurt your credit. You might also run into credit trouble if purchasing Bitcoin causes you to run up a high credit card balance that increases your credit utilization, and results in missed payments if you can't afford to pay it off.
