  • American billionaire, Warren Buffett said he regrets not investing in @Google and @Amazon when they launched. And I am afraid he is also going to regret not investing in Bitcoin now. The last time I checked, Warren Buffet called Bitcoin a "scam" and I chuckled at him. Well, he is a bricks and mortar business man who made his billions by being a smart investor and not by being a genius like any of younger Silicon Valley billionaires and one of them, Jeff Bezos, Founder and CEO of Amazon.com is richer than him with current net worth of US$110 billion.

    Bitcoin is money in digital currency.

    Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and worldwide payment system. It is the first decentralized digital currency, as the system works without a central bank or single administrator. The network is peer-to-peer and transactions take place between users directly, without an intermediary. These transactions are verified by network nodes through the use of cryptography and recorded in a public distributed ledger called a blockchain.

    A blockchain is a global online database that anyone with an internet connection can use. Unlike traditional databases — which are typically owned by big institutions — a blockchain doesn't belong to anyone; and with an entire network of people monitoring it, cheating the system by faking documents, transactions and other information is nearly impossible.
