SynopsisBitcoin is a type of decentralized digital currency accepted by many vendors as a legitimate form of payment for goods and services. While its use has been normalized by many organizations, nonprofits, and payment service providers, this cryptocurrency has also drawn criticism due to the relative ease with which it could be used as an instrument for criminal activity. Editor Noah Berlatsky has compiled a collection of essays that discuss Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Discussion includes whether the currency should be banned, whether it should be regulated, whether it favors the wealthy over the poor, and whether it is a real currency.
