“The digital currency is not just for the shady parts of the internet, it is gaining acceptance from mainstream websites and even real world businesses. A US couple recently conducted an experiment to see if they could live solely on bitcoin instead of other currencies. And in Canada the world’s first bitcoin ATM has opened up. Richard Branson has also begun accepting bitcoin payments for seats on upcoming flights into space on Virgin Galactic. But despite growing in acceptance, the currency value is unstable and like with all financial matters people will need to do their own research before deciding whether to invest the time and money.”
