What is a bitcoin? This word sounds from everywhere, people and texts repeat it. But what does it mean? Formally, everything is very simple: bit is an elementary unit of information, a coin is a coin. But what is caused by resonance throughout Ukraine, which has not fallen off for several weeks? And the fact that, if we sort out, we all live in a great time: a new kind of money is being established in the world. At first, people simply exchanged food and stone axes, then the role of the equivalent began to play - gold, then, with the invention of paper money, gold became their provision, then to the precious metals the Gross National Product was joined ... And now, most likely, an era begins when the provision of money becomes "the gold of the twentieth century - the information - which" goes to the people ", more precisely in his pocket, in the form of bitcoin.

That's all ...
If you turn to the topical. Remember the recent news about the next record of the course (already $ 4,121 per 1 bitcoin), about the SBU, which revealed at the site of the Paton Institute some kind of "production" of bitcoins on 200 computers, or some country recognized bitcoin as a currency? And all this attention - through one fundamental thing. If the bitcoin is a currency unit that has a course, if it is a means of buying / selling, then where is the state? A monopoly on the organization of exchange is a key monopoly of the state. And if she was taken away? The easiest example: you sold something for the hryvnia, and as a law-abiding business entity, you deducted the tax - VAT for the budget, and if the bill was in bitcoins, which nobody in Ukraine recognized, whose course is not formed by the NBU, but unknown to anyone ...
