bitcoin has been making headlines for months. With the price fluctuating wildly, is it really a currency, or just a scam? To find out, we have to analyze its properties.

We can’t know, but with the Federal Reserve devaluing the dollar every day, it is only a matter of time before people start looking for an alternative currency.
