The world of bitcoin might sound mysterious and foreboding to some, and to others, it sounds mysterious and exciting.
Actually using bitcoin in everyday life, meanwhile, has proven somewhat difficult in the past, and that’s a development that might change with Shake Labs Inc’s new payment system, a near-field communications (NFC) system that allows users to turn to bitcoin from mobile phones just about anywhere that takes NFC.
The Shake system, currently going through alpha version testing, turns to the Visa network to accomplish its transactions, and allows users to convert bitcoin to a more standard currency, using the system almost like a prepaid card.
