2008: Cryptocurrency

What is cryptocurrency: 21st-century unicorn – or the money of the future?

Today cryptocurrencies have become a global phenomenon. While still somehow geeky and not understood by most people, banks, governments and many companies are aware of its importance. If you had invested $100 into Bitcoin in 2009, today in 2016 that would be worth $73 million dollars. The value is continuing to increase at an incredible rate.

Bitcoin takes the power of money away from the banks and gives it back to the people. People will no longer be in debt to banks, but will be owners of their own money.

"Bitcoin is not a currency for the government. Bitcoin is a global currency for the people. It takes the power away from governments and banks and gives it back to the people. It would make our founding fathers proud. After all, President Thomas Jefferson said that the issuing power of money should be taken away from the banks and given back to the people, to whom it properly belongs. Bitcoin does exactly that."
