Jason Leibowitz is a former Wall Street professional who pivoted careers in 2014 to focus full-time on digital currency.
In this paper, Leibowitz answers questions about how bitcoin was created, how it works and why it matters. It has been described as a "techno tour de force" by Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and as a "remarkable cryptographic achievement…that has enormous value" by Google CEO, Eric Schmidt. It was even predicted by Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman in 1999 when he said, "The one thing that’s missing, but will soon be developed, is a reliable e-cash. " Friedman was a visionary, and in this instance he was a decade ahead of the rest, foreseeing the advent of digital currency, and more specifically, bitcoin.
Bitcoin’s rise to prominence is causing a global rethink of the concept of money. However, government-backed money has not stood the test of time; the average life of fiat currency is only 27 years.

As many of you already know there was a ‘hiccup’ in the bitcoin network this week.
It caused a flurry of articles, some good, some panicked and others that were outright alarmist. To be honest, while I was aware of the issue as it transpired it did not register with me as much of threat. To me it was just a temporary problem, one that we have seen before and undoubtedly will see again. While it was slightly unusual that there had to be any sort of human interaction, it was far from an unexpected event and had been planned for well in advance.
What Happened? The technical description to what happened is an unintentional Hard Fork. A hard fork occurs when there are a sufficient number of bitcoin clients on the network that disagree on the rules about how blocks are created and recorded in the universal block chain and it leads to a split in the chain, one set of bitcoin clients follow one split in the chain and another set follows another split in the chain. Who did it affect? Yes.
