“Bitcoin” Is A New Type Of Money https://teachingkidsnews.com/2013/04/24/1-bitcoin-is-a-new-type-of-currency/ https://teachingkidsnews.com/2013/04/24/1-bitcoin-is-a-new-type-of-currency/#comments Thu, 25 Apr 2013 01:00:15 +0000 https://teachingkidsnews.com/?p=10130 Bitcoin sounds like what it is--a type of money.

A man in Alberta is offering to sell his house for bitcoins instead of Canadian dollars.

Bitcoins have been around for a few years but are becoming more popular.
