We start at the beginning. What’s a bitcoin? Then quickly move into where it could go: micro payments on your car? (No coin in your virtual wallet, car doesn’t start?) What about electronic voting? Whether virtual currencies could replace everything from credit card payments to the way we vote. A look at three companies in the space for Bing Launch of the Week: Andreessen Horowitz-backed Coinbase, talent-rich but mystery product payment system Circle, and Cointerra, a company that sells mining rigs. And what are the chances that Bitcoin crashes below $100 in the next year? Our panel weighs in: Howard Lindzon of StockTwits, Tom Longson of GogoCoin, and cryptocurrency blogger Charles Amadeus.
