For the amount of spaces they had I would have guessed MONEY Title: Re: Bitcoin hits New York Crossword Post by: kjlimo on January 25, 2013, 12:09:27 PM As much as I know about Bitcoin I would have never gotten that answer. For the amount of spaces they had I would have guessed MONEY Care to elaborate on the difference between "money" & "cash" because I think we all agree that bitcoin can be associated with the internet. Is "cash" too close to a fiat term? I guess I wouldn't call gold "money" so I'm not sure where bitcoin falls.

For the amount of spaces they had I would have guessed MONEY If you got a few of the words crossing it, then it would probably jump out at you. If you did put in MONEY, then it would be ovious that was wrong as soon as you tried to do any of the crossing words.
