(That's an 80s Disney movie reference. Keep reading, and at some point it might make sense.) My 11/28/2017 blog post brought the bitcoin phenomenon to your attention. By the time that post was finished and published, a single bitcoin was trading for $10,139.03. But it didn't stop there. By December 8, the value of one bitcoin had crested at $17,117.27—an increase of nearly 70%. Since then, the bitcoin tide has rolled out a bit, and the rate as of this nanosecond is $13,570.30 to one bitcoin. Click here if you need to get up to speed on everything about bitcoins. And just why am I so fascinated by and concerned about stuff like cryptocurrency? Stuff that's so new that the words cause the spell-checker to choke? It's because of the future. Just when you think it's right around the corner, or out over the horizon somewhere, suddenly it's already here. So I'm offering you a bird's-eye view beyond the earth's curvature, figuratively speaking. Autonomous cars, artificial intelligence, robotics—they're gearing up to take over!
