“Many currency traders and investors have taken a keen interest in Bitcoin. And ordinary people can use them to purchase goods and services from online retailers that accept Bitcoin, or any other person or business that is willing to conduct business using the digital currency. Vancouver already has 16 brick-and-mortar stores that accept Bitcoin. The system circumvents the monopoly that governments have traditionally had on currency, and gives average citizens access to sound money. Why is this important? Consider the Bitcoin ATM now operating in a Vancouver café.”
