Back in 2013, everyone was sure bitcoin was the next big thing.

Then the world’s largest bitcoin exchange, Mt. Gox, imploded, and everyone was sure bitcoin was dead. Pundits tend to think that way: you’re It, or you’re not.

The reality of it is a little different. Despite the travails of Mt. Gox—and the Silk Road, the online drug bazaar that relied so heavily on bitcoin—the digital currency never went away.

Today, it’s thriving like never before. And some say this is the year it finally reaches the mainstream.

La carte de paiement VISA de CoinBase fait son chemin chez les utilisateurs :

According to the company, more than 7,500 people have signed up for the card since it launched in late November. Using this piece of plastic, they’ve spent more than $50,000 worth of bitcoin.

That’s not a lot—yet. But the Coinbase card lets people spend bitcoin anywhere that accepts a VISA card.

Ta citation dit que Bitcoin va connaître une bonne année 2016 et qu'il va devenir un produit grand public. À propos de 2016, ça je suis d'accord, mais pas contre, l'adoption du grand public, ce n'est pas pour maintenant !
