Title: 2013-03-06 BUSINESS INSIDER - Suddenly, Everyone's Talking About Bitcoin Post by: Maciek on March 07, 2013, 10:57:58 PM http://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-bitcoin-2013-3
Quote I was at a technology conference earlier this week, and the most popular topic of casual conversation was Bitcoin, the electronic currency invented and unleashed a few years ago. Interestingly, the conversation started before Bitcoin prices went bananas earlier this week. During dinner on Sunday night, Bitcoins were worth about $35 apiece. By the time the conference ended this morning, they had hit $49. That meant that one of the folks who extolled the virtues of Bitcoin to me at dinner on Sunday had booked an electronic profit of 40% on his Bitcoins in three days. Not bad! |
