Article: Quote Virtual Currency Bitcoin is Fascinating, Terrifying, Maybe The Future Welcome to the thirteenth installment of Queer Your Tech with Fun, Autostraddle's nerdy new tech column.

These virtual coins are entirely anonymous and untraceable, like cash, which means they're frequently used to commit crimes.
