BITCOIN Digital Currency Boom - Are You Using It?
The Bitcoin is a fairly new digital currency that is being used in America, China, India, Australia, UK, and other countries. It makes transactions with other countries easier, regardless of differences in currencies. This system also eliminates delays, holds, extra charges, etc. usually found when using credit cards, paypal, etc. Another plus is that there's no sticky fingers, or noses of the government being poked in for control and profits.

Bitcoin just ended-up being an investment vehicle for speculators.

I'm skipping Bitcoin and sticking with Paypal. At least with Paypal, when you deposit 50 bucks, it remains at 50 bucks no matter what the markets do.

Why not just barter for goods? Why do we need to use debt notes (so-called "money") as a middleman?
