“Across the Spree River on Berlin’s north side, Aaron Koenig dons a bowler cap as he welcomes guests to an industrial co-working space for the second Berlin Bitcoin Exchange (BXB) — a monthly event he founded to allow buyers and sellers to meet face to face and exchange Bitcoins for euros, dollars or otherwise. Both June and July’s exchanges drew a fluid crowd of about 50 people, with plans to expand the event into a maker’s market where visitors can spend their Bitcoins right after purchasing them. Koenig said growing problems with the euro mean the benefits of Bitcoin are beginning to outweigh the risks.”
