“Some Americans think Bitcoin is an Xbox game. Others think it might be an iPhone app. The majority have no idea it’s a virtual currency they can use to buy everything from T-shirts to Tesla Motors sedans, according to a Bloomberg National Poll. Only 42 percent of Americans who responded to the Dec. 6-9 telephone survey correctly identified Bitcoin, which has gained more than 80-fold in value this year as its popularity expands. Bitcoins, which exist as software and aren’t regulated by any country or banking authority, are accepted at businesses ranging from a Lamborghini dealership in Costa Mesa,California, to a Peruvian food truck in Washington.”
