Imagine that title even a year ago?

    Fascinating… I wonder how bitcoin will catch on, or whether it will catch fire.

    “Fast & Furious” star Paul Walker may have initially survived a horrific car crash but died moments later of a combination of injuries from the impact and the resulting fire as the Porsche had a gasoline engine thus containing flammable and explosive gasoline in the tank
