http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/sundayextra/bitcoins/4614208 Quote Have you heard about the Bitcoin bubble? What's a Bitcoin, you ask? A weirdly invisible yet valuable internet currency is part of the answer. Although there are no physical coins, Walmart sells Bitcoin gift cards, and WordPress and Reddit both take payments in Bitcoin. The repercussions of that latest twists in the eurozone saga are still unfolding, but amid the financial and social chaos the little understood Bitcoin has reached record highs in value. Could this complex creation of computing be the new gold—an electronic safe haven?
