http://www.nationalreview.com/article/351541/my-so-called-bitcoin-life-betsy-woodruffWhile the loftier dreams of science fiction are still irritatingly unrealized — we’ll all probably shuffle off our mortal coils without having ever known the benefits of jetpacks and hoverboards, alas — there’s at least one thing about our world circa 2013 that is brave and new, and that is Bitcoin. It’s gotten a lot of press over the past few months, migrating from the dark recesses of Reddit to the pages of the New York Times.

Today, two and a half years on, our recent research shows almost half (48%) of all British consumers expect to be able to bank with whatever device they like, including smartphones and tablets. Furthermore, one in six British consumers are even already interested in using Google Glass to manage their finances, without even seeing or testing a working prototype.

http://tech.co/the-right-way-for-startups-to-use-bitcoin-2013-06The virtual currency founded in 2009 is still too new to benefit most startups, but it is popular enough to attract attention from regulators. So some companies could pioneer a new niche to profit from its potential to ease international payments and online sales.

http://forexmagnates.com/compliance-through-alliance-btc-global-introduces-crowdsourced-bitcoin-regulation/Seeing the landscape change, today’s bitcoin startups are beginning to take regulations and banking relationships more seriously, and viewing them as a necessary annoyance. However, while firms are taking more precaution, it comes at a cost. Explaining the difficulties, Steven Morrel, Co-Founder and CPO at BTC Global expressed to Forex Magnates that to really make sure you are covering yourself in terms of regulation, firms needs be registered in each country or state they do business in. As such, Morrel added that this means “employing lawyers and paying for fees in each state or country. It’s a huge difficulty for startups.”

http://www.coindesk.com/how-green-is-bitcoin/You, like many others, might be forgiven for assuming that, as a digital currency, Bitcoin is green. After all, it exists only online. However, this doesn’t mean it has no impact on the real world. In fact, Bitcoin mining is said to use over $300,000 worth of electricity per day.

http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/dc1b07ec-c867-11e2-8cb7-00144feab7de.html#axzz2VQPkpzb1 Bitcoin is cybercash and users can build up balances through “mining” (difficult) or though trade. The parallel to the move from barter to a precious metal coin system is exact. Farmers and craftspeople built up precious metal balances through trade and so barter died away. As liquidity builds up and becomes more widespread, the Bitcoin system can facilitate an increasingly large, and anonymous, portion of global trade with little if any interaction with the regulated system. Indeed, it may increasingly come to serve the same function that offshore banking has previously served and is now unsuited to serve because of growing transparency. The potential of Bitcoin to undermine regulated financial activity must not be underestimated.
