During a dinner party over the holidays one of our guests asked the question: “Did anyone use Bitcoin to buy Christmas presents this year?”
Most of the people at the table thought it was a silly question but the more we discussed the digital currency, the more we discovered how interesting it was. Everyone had heard of Bitcoin but no one really knew much about it, and no one in our group had ever owned any Bitcoin or ever made any transactions with it.
What is Bitcoin, where did it come from and where is it going?
