After several years of improving infrastructure and technology, it seems like multisignature wallet technologies are finally making a headway in the Bitcoin world. Greenaddress.it and BitGo have emerged as primary contenders in the space, and the latter has recently raised $12 million in venture capital funding and boasts that it stores over $100 million in BTC. The growing emergence of multisig is a very welcome sight in the Bitcoin ecosystem, as the benefits have been known and the components in the Bitcoin protocol have been available for nearly two years and now finaly mainstream consumers can start bearing the fruits. Particular […]

Bitcoin price prediction and chart analysis are among the most popular topics on Bitcoin. That’s okay, nothing wrong with a little speculation. But there’s a lot more to making a profit than ‘reading the charts’ and following the news. I certainly learned in my days as a day trader in the stock market. For a year, […]

This is a guest post by Naomi Brockwell. The media tends to focus on doom-and-gloom stories, because sensationalist headlines attract larger audiences. However, when journalists go so far as to misrepresent facts and sway the public in one direction or another, these stories can be dangerous. This is especially true when talking about a new technology that has the potential to change lives for the better. Public opinion can mean the difference between this potential being realised, or crushed completely. That is the situation with Bitcoin. The media frequently talks about Bitcoin now, but often misrepresents the facts. Coverage tends to focus on the negatives. Stories about money laundering, drug trading, exploded exchanges, and price crashes predominate. The coverage rarely […]

Bitcoin has become frequently talked about in the financial media. Despite this the general public is still relatively under informed when it comes to this digital currency. In a January 2014 poll it was found that only 25% of US adults were familiar with Bitcoin. This means that there is still significant room to educate the general public about the advantages of using a peer-to-peer digital currency. To address some of those knowledge gaps here are some of the most common myths about Bitcoin as well some of its key benefits. Myth #1: Bitcoin is no different to any other digital currency There have been many other digital currencies in the past, including Beenz, Liberty Dollars and eGold. However these […]

For the first time ever in human history, we can create unforgeable documents. This is thanks to the Blockchain. The Blockchain is a peer-to-peer ledger, owned by nobody, that creates and records all digital currency transactions using mathematics. The blockchain uses the computing power of the global public to solve these cryptographic problems that confirm transactions made using a digital currency such as bitcoin. The blockchain also stores aspects of each transaction made using the currency;  small transactions can be made in which any information is permanently stored; forever. Promises can be made and enshrined on the blockchain. This new form of promise, however, is different than the often broken ones we as humans are accustomed to. They will never […]

Last month I attended an interesting Orlando Bitcoin Meetup. The Meetup took place at Bright Learning Academy, a school for special needs students that works with children who need an alternative to traditional school settings. The school takes a technological approach to learning. It’s no mystery that kids learn to understand technology much more easily than we do. That’s just the way things go. Bright Learning Academy is teaching money management and free market principles with Bitcoin technology. They did it before MIT. Last winter, school teacher Robert Lefebure began signing up students for a wallet at Blockchain.info. “The idea, explains Robert, “was to use Bitcoin to teach personal money management and economics because, frankly, it’s hard to understand where […]
