Why Wall Street is taking a keen interest in bitcoin's technology

http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/business/why-wall-street-is-taking-a-keen-interest-in-bitcoins-technology/articleshow/48741978.cms

Most people still think of Bitcoin as the virtual currency used by drug dealers and shadowy hackers looking to evade the authorities.

But the innovations that helped turn Bitcoin into the most popular virtual currency are now being viewed as a potentially enormous disruptive force for several industries, including accounting, music and law.

Nowhere, though, are more money and resources being spent on the technology than on Wall Street - the very industry that Bitcoin was created to circumvent.

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!
