It sounds cool how it works: http://bitcoin.org/en/ http://bitcoin.org/en/how-it-works http://bitcoin.org/en/download Read an article about it here: http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2013/03/29/digital-currency-bitcoin-surpasses-20-national-currencies-in-value/ Bitcoin is in high demand right now -- each bitcoin currently sells for more than $90 U.S. dollars -- which bitcoin insiders say is because of world events that have shaken confidence in government-issued currencies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperTaz Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 I guess the Bitcoin is making the government scared... http://www.foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/2013/08/14/consumer-risk-bitcoins/ State and federal regulators have launched investigations into virtual currencies like Bitcoin in an attempt to curb any consumer threats and abuses from the decentralized digital currency . The Senate’s Committee for Homeland Security sent a letter to Secretary Janet Napolitano on Monday urging a probe into the oversight of the flourishing digital-based currency market. Bitcoin was created in 2009 as an open-source software code, but has grown into a $1 billion industry. As digital currency continues to gain traction, lawmakers are seeking more clarity on policies and who would regulate the market. But some proponents of the currency say too much government involvement could hinder growth and expansion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
