Developing software, living the expat life in beijing, other fun stuff! We have been paying close attention to the new currency you probably have heard of by now: Bitcoin. In a sentence: Bitcoin is a new currency of virtual coins that are limited in number and can easily be traded in a decentralized internet marketplace.
