Dear Taichung Happiers,

Lin-sanity has been conceded as an English language word according to the Global Language Monitor; likewise, bitcoin has become an official word in Oxford online dictionary. What do Lin-sanity and bitcoin have in common? Well, we have at least two answers: The sudden elevation, and, not-a-typical story of a rising star. Now, the topic our host Joey prepared for this weekend will blow your mind: Some things you need to know about Bitcoin.

If you still have a vague concept of bitcoin, here is an introduction: http://live.wsj.com/video/what-a-bitcoin/D79FF38C-7816-435B-B3B0-F9B177BCA0A8.html#!D79FF38C-7816-435B-B3B0-F9B177BCA0A8 When bitcoin is becoming enormously popular, some highly controversial issues also come along. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-25120731 Truly, Bitcoin does have celebrity believers. Ben Bernanke, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, endorses bitcoin as a long-term promising part of the international payment system. However, American economist Mark Skousen reminds people: “Bitcoin is not an actual physical coin, and if computers are shut down, you can't buy or sell them.” Besides, security is always the top priority to consider-- what should you do when some people quietly rob all your Bitcoins within a blink of an eye? http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/all-your-bitcoins-are-ours

Linsanity, an inspirational voice always in our minds, has been the symbol of an unflappable confidence, yet, is bitcoin just a bubble? Come join us to offer your thoughts and suggestions. (Welcome to forward our weekly article as far and wide as possible. Thanks a lot for your support.) Oh, by the way, will you have a hearty smile if your company pays you in bitcoin? (blinking!)





Best Wishes,
Jasmine
