Radical Website Plays Audio For Bitcoin Transactions In Real Time

Virtual currency, Bitcoin is now valued at over $1 billion (R9,25 billion), and unlike traditional currency , you “can download every Bitcoin transcation that’s ever taken place and, more interestingly, tap into those transactions in close to real time.”

University student Maximillian Laumeister created the “Listen to Bitcoin” website, which produces a sound for every transaction that occurs on Bitcoin.

Laumeister said the site is “as real time as you can get.” Depending on the value spent determines the amplitude of the radomly generated tone. It’s almost like money changing hands, almost.
