Japan Awaits Its First Bitcoin ATM
Bitcoin is, however, controversial. It’s lack of traceability – in that respect, it’s like cash – has meant that it has become a currency of choice for cybercriminals.

Gox, one of the largest bitcoin exchanges, has gone bankrupt after hackers made off with all of its reserves.
