While the pace of technological advancement and innovation remains something to behold, its diverse range of applications are often misunderstood or unappreciated. Take the concept of autonomous cars, for example, which while having the potential to reduce road accidents by an estimated 90% have largely been derided and treated with suspicion.
In some instances, the notoriety of an application actually detracts from the merits of the technology behind it, and this is certainly true in the case of Bitcoin. Despite being underpinned by advanced and diverse Blockchain technology which actually has multiple applications in the consumer mainstream, Bitcoin has continued to dominate the headlines throughout its tumultuous and often turbulent history.

Make no mistake; however, Bitcoin is now on an upward swing after a period of significant turbulence. This has culminated in the decision of game-streaming platform Steam to accept the crypto-currency, in a move aimed at engaging players located in Brazil, China and India.
