“Bitcoins are a monetary system outside the control of any one nation. They are entirely digital. You can’t hold them like a coin. They are based on complex mathematical algorithms and cryptography and various protocols that make them practically anonymous. But they can be used like money — usually in online transactions. After Bitcoins were invented in January 2009, the number of transactions per day hovered around 500 for two years. Now there are around 50,000 transactions a day for things ranging from buying a cup of coffee to hiring a lawyer.”
