Oh, bitcoin.
The cryptocurrency that many love to hate on is still chugging along. Of course it is, and it even enjoyed its strongest month since December.
Sheesh, maybe now is the time to snap that shizz up?
There should be doubt that over the past year, the cryptocurrency’s popularity rose a staggering amount and, as a consequence, so did the need for stock photography.
So, to give us all better sense of the inner workings, background, and ‘dos and don’ts’ of the bitcoin ecosystem, The Atlantic took a look at the creative attempts stock photographers have made to tackle these often tricky concepts.
The best is? The use of the novelty bitcoin, which has absolute no value whatsoever:

Now I’m not going to pretend that I know what the future holds for the likes of bitcoin and Ethereum, but I do know the easiest way to get involved.
There’s a reason that locally-based Luno has more than 1,5 million customers in 40 countries – download app, buy bitcoin, check your investment every morning to see if you can retire yet.
Luno makes it safe and easy to buy, store and learn about digital currencies like bitcoin and Ethereum in South Africa, so if you’re going to dabble then that’s where you want to start.
As you were, boetcoiners.
