Without a national economy to evaluate the currency, or a national reserve to supply it, how *is* a currency such as Bitcoin created? This article covers the topic of Bitcoin creation, as well as an overview of its systematic introduction into the...

To understand whether or not Bitcoin is a bubble, we must first come to an objective consensus on what defines the subjective term “bubble”. Ideally, this can be achieved by breaking the “bubble” idea down into smaller parts, and using them to analyze historical analogues to the Bitcoin bubble. The most obvious analogue for the Bitcoin bubble is the dot-com bubble. Both phenomena were accompanied by growing global adoption of revolutionary information technology. What similarities and differe...
