Bitcoin season seven—on the web since 2008!—is drawing to a close, and it’s clear that the writers have started to run out of ideas. Earlier seasons of the series had their fair share of drama, like in season six when the gigantic Mt. Gox exchange imploded, taking millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin with it, but even that doesn’t compare to the show’s recent “wacky” phase, where it seems like anything goes.
Without a doubt, 2015 was the craziest year yet for Bitcoin, the virtual currency that, in the last six years, has gone from a niche hobby for people who’ve read Neuromancer to being on the cover of Bloomberg Businessweek.
