The bitcoin world is experiencing a bit of a controversy at the moment. Just last week, an Australian revealed that he is the creator of bitcoin, but his claims have since been met with a lot of skepticism which was not helped by the fact that he has since declined to provide further proof that can corroborate his claims.
That being said controversy aside, the bitcoin cryptocurrency appears to be chugging along just fine and it seems that over in Switzerland in the Swiss town of Zug, they have recently announced that they will begin a trial in which they will allow people to start paying for public services via the bitcoin standard.
