Bitcoin is promising to be the alternative payment method for retail shopping and online web sites. Used the World over, Bitcoin is gaining momentum, acceptance and the attention of government regulators.
Bitcoin suffers from technical complexity but the savings are enormous.

The great news about Bitcoin and other alternative currencies is they use cryptology to secure your money instead of centralised controls. Bitcoin and alternative coins such as BankCoin are unregulated.
Bitcoins where initially mined using high speed computer graphics cards and sold on currency trading exchanges for a few dollars each. Today you can buy/sell 0.10000001 of a Bitcoin for about $66. Bitcoins have eight decimal places unlike cash which has only two.
