And the Interviews Start Coming In…

I’ve been getting a lot of attention lately thanks to a certain little black box I recently received. This isn’t my first rodeo and I’m used to getting attention from time to time – what I’m not used to is doing interviews, and there have been quite a few lately. The first one to air [...]

Another G+ Hangout, This Time With ASIC

Google-plus

These Sunday Morning G+ hangouts are getting me out of bed waaaay too early – they’re starting to feel like being dragged to church as a child. That said, I will be there at 9:00AM Pacific time and this time in addition to the standard Q&A I’ve also got an ASIC to show off. I [...]

Well everyone, it’s been a long hard road to this point but I can finally officially say without a shadow of a doubt that the Butterfly Labs ASIC miners exist. I know this because I’ve got one sitting next to my laptop happily hashing away as I type these words.

Bitcoin’s Image Problem

There’s been some drama recently over the removal of a few names from the list of potential interviewees posted at bitcoin.org.

CNBC.com Senior Writer Jeff Cox recently wrote a scathing article entitled “Bitcoin Bubble: How ‘Geeks’ Sent Prices Parabolic” that attracted quite a few anti-Bitcoin remarks in the comments and had no shortage of such remarks in the article itself. Of course, like most hyperbolic bile-filled reviews on this topic, he didn’t even bother to do [...]

The Silky Smooth Sounds of Nerddom

Codex Nerdicus

Or, y’know, my dorky voice talking with an old friend about nerdy stuff. You could describe it that way too… I’ve been so busy with all the drama and illness lately that I damn near forgot to mention my latest project – a podcast called Codex Nerdicus. My old friend Dave Wolfe and I have had [...]

Take note of the pluralization of “Bitcoins” in the title: This is not a repeat. This is also not a crash. In my previous article, Bitcoin price had just topped $90 which put its total market cap solidly over a billion dollars. Today, for the first time ever, Bitcoin’s unit price has topped $100.

Bitcoin Now Worth ONE. BILLION. DOLLARS.

As the price of Bitcoin peeked its head over $90 this morning, we reached a historic milestone: Bitcoin is worth a billion dollars. I’m talking about Bitcoin as a whole here. The market cap (price times number of coins in existence) as I’m writing this is at  $1,035,238,115, just over a billion (or as my [...]
