After the cancellation of the Satoshi Point ATM at Cardiff in February there is finally an ATM which has been installed at The Castle Emporium. It is a Lamassu model that works both ways with accepting cash for Bitcoin and vice versa. Overall it is an eye-catching machine that looks quite modern and trendy as far as […]

Bitcoin 0.5

March 15, 2015 By Phillip george

The price has dropped during 2014 but this was needed as the price was far too obscene when it went above the […]

Bitcoin is Evolution not Revolution

January 15, 2015 By Phillip george

I highly recommend the reading of ‘The Innovators’, a book by Walter Isaacson. It covers the digital revolution from the Victorian period with the concept of the modern computer by Ada Lovelace to the present day with the concept and creation of the internet and modern day web.
