Mashable forgot to mention Bitcoin as one of 2014's 7 Huge Tech Trends
I'm kinda disappointed that Mashable didn't even mention Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as one of the 7 Huge Tech Trends in 2014. They managed to mention 4K Content which is just, eh, better image on a television. Let's bombard the article with comments about why Mashable and the author Lance Ulanoff left out Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and get the author to re-write it! I strongly believe 2014 will be the best year yet for Bitcoin. Anyone with me? Read the article here.

After holding his BTC for one year, Finman sold his bitcoins for $100,000.

Another huge company is tweeting about bitcoin. This time around it’s Heineken. If you live under a rock, they make beer. And while we refuse to discuss its flavor compared to other beers, we will share with you their tweet from Monday morning: “Our vistion of the future? Drink real beer, pay with virtual money. bitcoin.org/en/ #Bitcoin #OpenYourWorld”.
