It surely has been a while since I mentioned Bitcoin in a blog posting. This is perhaps because their value has been languishing since the beginning of 2014. Things are picking up a bit, obviously. A single bitcoin briefly approached $1000 in Canadian funds. Although that may sound impressive, one has to remember back when I became interested in the crypto-currency, our paper dollars were on par with those from the United States. Presently, the Canadian buck is only worth about 77 cents.
