One of the biggest debates in recent weeks as the value of Bitcoin skyrockets to nearly $2000 per coin is whether the crypto-currency is really a medium of exchange, or simply a security that allows one to store their wealth in a decentralized digital wallet. And while the argument has been strongly on the side of it being a security thanks to Chinese and Japanese investors using it simply as a way to find an alternative to their own devaluing currencies, on May 19 a British company is pulling Bitcoin back onto the currency side of the ledger by allowing its use at all 27 UK airports for extraneous payments such as short and long-term parking.

Great job of putting a very complex idea and concept in easy to understand terms!
Hi Ken. Thanks for the update. I recently saw TV commercials in mainstream TV stations in Japan of Bitcoin being promoted as a form of payment option and also saw prolific advertisements of Bitflyer exchange as well. Bitcoin is going mainstream in Japan and in other counties. Hopefully, USA will get in on the Bitcoin train soon. Upvoted and resteemed. Thanks my friend.
