“This past weekend I attended the Bitcoin 2013 conference in San Jose, where over one thousand enthusiasts, developers, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and, yes, lawyers gathered to chart the future of the virtual currency.

This transition from ideological enclave to professionalized financial network was on display at the conference’s exhibit hall.”
