What do government bonds and bitcoin have in common? Some investors think they're just a bit safer than the euro at the moment.

A bitcoin exchange was hacked in June last year, resulting in around 500,000 bitcoins being stolen...

That's not how I remember it.
Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

Nice work on getting those errors fixed and good to see that ZDnet are willing to do so quickly.
