It would appear that bitcoins are still around.

That’s right, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss — who in 2004 famously sued Mark Zuckerberg, claiming he stole their idea for Facebook — have ridden a 10,000 percent rise in the cryptocurrency to a 10-digit net worth.

I think this may have been discussed but it is still a very strange concept to me. I remember reading a scif-fi book once that brought up a very interesting concept. Money itself has no inherent value. The one dollar bill in our wallets only has value for goods or services because we all agree it has value. That goes the same for pretty much anything I guess.
The discussion here is some what reflective of this. Most does a bitcoin have value? Seems that someone(s) think it does. I'm not familiar with it so I don't know what it's worth. What's it's value based on? Why does it fluctuate so much. I would think one of the requirements of a currency is some sort of stability, at least with in some sort of range. The other strange thing is that you can get bitcoins by mining them with a computer.
