"A New York Times technology and business reporter charts the dramatic rise of Bitcoin and the fascinating personalities who are striving to create a new global money for the Internet age.Digital Gold is New York Times reporter Nathaniel Popper's brilliant and engrossing history of Bitcoin, the landmark digital money and financial technology that has spawned a global social movement.The notion of a new currency, maintained by the computers of users around the world, has been the butt of many jokes, but that has not stopped it from growing into a technology worth billions of dollars, supported by the hordes of followers who have come to view it as the most important new idea since the creation of the Internet. Believers from Beijing to Buenos Aires see the potential for a financial system free from banks and governments. More than just a tech industry fad, Bitcoin has threatened to decentralize some of society's most basic institutions.An unusual tale of group invention, Digital Gold charts the rise of the Bitcoin technology through the eyes of the movement's colorful central characters, including a British anarchist, an Argentinian millionaire, a Chinese entrepreneur, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, and Bitcoin's elusive creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Already, Bitcoin has led to untold riches for some, and prison terms for others.Digital Gold includes 16 pages of black-and-white photos"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I had a bit of trouble keeping up with all the players, but it was a pretty interesting story, and interesting characters, including behind-the-scenes glimpses of the rich and successful and how they so things.
There is a forum I participate in that has donation drives with a preference for bitcoin. I opened an account with Coinbase about a year or so ago, and used it kind of like Paypal, buying and then sending aroung $20. The second time, I bought a little extra, as it seemed more efficient - I think it was an extra $20. Several months later I had over $50. Since then, I bought $100 worth, and now have over $200 worth. So, that made me a little more interested in how it works. But I'm still not willing to invest more than I care to lose. (
