“A bitcoin is currently trading for around $763, versus $10 at the start of the year. You’ll need to pony up $250,000, or 327.7 BTC, to spend about 10 minutes weightless on the edge of space. The first customer to have paid in Bitcoins is a stewardess in Hawaii ‘who made quite a lot of money by getting into Bitcoin early on,’ Branson said. Branson has confidence that Bitcoin will go higher, as the systems controlling the crypto-currency limit the total amount of Bitcoins in circulation. This prevents the money printing (excuse us, ‘quantitative easing’) that central banks indulge in to doom subsequent generations to crippling inflation (‘stabilize markets’).”
