"The Economist explains: How does Bitcoin work?"
http://www.economist.com/bitcoinexplained


I ran across this article looking for something else entirely. It's not a new article, but it is easy to read and easy to understand. The information is quite useful for a newcomer to crypto, so I thought I would share it with you.

This is my favorite quote in this article:

"Just as BitTorrent was not the first file-sharing service and Skype was not the first voice-over-internet service, it may be that Bitcoin will be a pioneer in the field of virtual currencies, but will be overshadowed by an easier-to-use rival."

Mmmmm....   DNotes maybeeee..
