Heineken: Bitcoin Tweet Was "Tongue in Cheek"
Part of the bitcoin community has been abuzz regarding a tweet beer company Heineken sent out on Monday. The tweet read: "Our vision of the future? Drink real beer, pay with virtual money", with a link to the bitcoin foundation website. This left the community with a few questions. Could Heineken soon sell beer direct to consumers via bitcoin? What were they trying to say? Coinbase even responded offering to make it a possibility. We contacted Heineken to try and get some more answers, and just as most of us assumed, it was a joke with no real desire to make it a possibility. The company....

The price of bitcoins has fallen considerably from the recent high of around $130 in late May, with a dramatic drop from $108 to $91 in the past 24-hour period. As of around noon Eastern time Sunday, the bitcoin price stood at $98 (£64.61). Why the big drop?
