Bitcoin has been around for a number of years now, but only in the last 6 - 8 months, have I seen more and more articles on Bitcoin.  The price has escalated from around $450 per Bitcoin last May until today's price of just over $1000 per Bitcoin.

To gain a better understanding of Bitcoin and how it can and does affect financial matters around the world, one can spend hours and hours using Google to find an abundance of articles and videos on the subject.  I have come across a documentary video which provides a very informative and interesting insight on not only Bitcoin, but the financial system in general.  I offer it here for your viewing pleasure.

BITCOIN:  The End of Money as We Know It

It is my hope that you have a better understanding of Bitcoin and it's importance to our financial future.  While I don't think that paper currency will be obsolete in my lifetime,  I do think it is a good idea to educate one's self with Bitcoin, blockchain, ledgers and the rest of the terminology that goes along with digital currency and perhaps get acquainted with how to set up a wallet and make a purchase of Bitcoin.
