I first heard of bitcoin in 2014, I thought it was some internet money so I didn’t care much.
A few months ago, I started looking into what is bitcoins and how it works. That’s when the lights went on.

More hype! Venture capitalist Tim Draper predicting future prices of bitcoins… wait did he purchase $20 millions worth of bitcoins? He sure put his money where is mouth is.
