The digital cryptocurrency has been fighting a war for acceptance since its inception in 2008 by anonymous programmer Satoshi Nakamoto. In the last month, a major battle has broken out across some of the most valuable geography in the world: the American living room. In that period alone, Bitcoin has been addressed by President Obama, appeared in the New York Times, and seen the launch of the world’s first Bitcoin ATM, all of which has helped drive search and Wikipedia traffic to the subject. Bitcoin is inching closer to mainstream. How did it make it this far?”
