Each evening, 'Felix' sneaks into the computer suite at his university and starts up the machines. One by one, he runs a script on each computer and his 'workers' begin solving complex algorithms.

According to Tom Reaney, Burger Bear's founder, 60% of the cryptocurrency share taken by his pop-up burger stall is in bitcoin, while the rest is in dogecoin. And it's the devotees of the Shiba Inu-inspired currency that have most surprised Reaney. "We have people coming from all over the world to pay with DOGE," Reaney said.

Hidden from the prying eyes of the public, a new basement pub has set up shop in the heart of Tech City, East London. And as befits London's hub for digital innovation, you can pay for your beer with bitcoin. Only the second pub in London to accept bitcoin - Hackney's Pembury Tavern being the first - the Craft Beer Social Club is a roving pop-up pub stocked with British beer and hearty burgers. The pop-up is run by Justina Cruickshank, who began the business after getting bored with the limited range of beers that you find in normal pubs. But beer isn't the only thing on her mind: she....
