Presentation
Crypto currency has been around for a while. It’s still relatively unknown to most, and a cloud of mystery to others. Bitcoin is the first one to move from novelty to reality and is making strides towards gaining mainstream acceptance. But how are they made? Where can you buy them? Who’s accepting them (and should you)? Is this a viable currency for your business?What are regulators doing about it? Is your corporate equipment being used after hours to mine crypto currency?
We won’t actually be breaking any ciphers, but we will be breaking the mystery that surrounds crypto currency for most people.
