Bitcoins Mired In Debate Over Legitimacy

Bitcoins have been around for a while now and recently, this virtual currency has been making lots of headlines. In fact, people are starting to wonder if Bitcoins are the future of money.

For the most part Bitcoin appear to be the fringe currency crackpots and anarchists. And projects like Dark Wallet, created by a group of anarchists called Unsystem led by the creator of the 3D-printed gun Cody Wilson, don’t do much to dispel this image.

The idea with Dark Wallet seems to be facilitating Bitcoin’s integrity as a truly alternative form of currency with a browser plugin that enables users to store, send and receive Bitcoins.

On the other side of the debate is the push for Bitcoins to become a government regulated form of currency and for more mainstream uses for Bitcoins.
