“Bitcoin is a re-imagining of international finance, something that breaks down barriers between countries and frees currency from the control of federal governments.

The software runs on thousands of machines across the globe, but it can be changed. It’s just that a majority of those overseeing the software must agree to the change. In short, Bitcoin is kind of like the internet, but for money. What does that mean, specifically?”
