“The U.S. Postal Service Inspector General’s office is looking at disruptive technologies to bolster the finances of the nation’s ailing post offices. The latest idea? Jump on the Bitcoin bandwagon. Possibilities include putting Bitcoin ATMs in some of the 35,000 post offices around the country or offering electronic wallets – either virtual or physical – where people could store their Bitcoins. The agency wouldn’t be involved in the technical side of Bitcoin, yet could be a brick-and-mortar stop for the authentication or redemption of the virtual currency.”
