I was at a technology conference earlier this week, and the most popular topic of casual conversation was Bitcoin, the electronic currency invented and unleashed a few years ago.
Interestingly, the conversation started before Bitcoin prices went bananas earlier this week.
During dinner on Sunday night, Bitcoins were worth about $35 apiece.
By the time the conference ended this morning, they had hit $49.
That meant that one of the folks who extolled the virtues of Bitcoin to me at dinner on Sunday had booked an electronic profit of 40% on his Bitcoins in three days.
Not bad!
