We’ve been writing about bitcoin since February 2013 because we thought it was a remarkable and intellectually elegant solution to one key social problem: It simply costs too much money to move money. Want to send $100 to a friend in Argentina by Western Union? That will set you back $12. How about paying for a $1 bag of chips with a credit card in the US? Good luck with that – you’ll likely have to buy a 10 pack to meet the card minimum at the store. We had no idea the value of a bitcoin would skyrocket from our first report at $31 to about $900 today. We just thought it was cool. 
like it.
all in all: good article.
