Whether you're looking into the next killer venture, investing in a startup, or simply curious about the technology, this review by Nakamoto provides essential detail to get you started. Bitcoin is still in its early stages and yet it has already spawned a multi-billion-dollar global economy and forced the financial world to start thinking of transactions in a completely new way.

A crypto currency can give to millions of people access to having a bank in their pocket through a cell phone, opening commerce to masses of new entrepreneurs and consumers.
