(*) bit coin
but what they hell they are all the same
one of the inventors - Charlie Shram did time for this - as it shades into money laundering. as you would expect for an unregulated paper transaction
he fort to himself - I think it must have been outside the slammer - that coin in prisons were tins of tuna, and concluded they didnt have to move around. all you needed was central book keeperS all agreeing on the pots which the mmen held.
and so bit coin was born. Thing was they can be consumed... ( er you can eat a tin of tuna, OK the contents)
and the other thing was that cigarettes were used as currency in POW camps 1940-5 which can also be consumed but were NOT associated with wild variation .....
just saying - I dont have a thing to do with it
You can understand why
