CES 2014 Preview: Bitcoin Takes the Stage
2014 is shaping up to be the year of Bitcoin. From large venture capital investments to mainstream coverage to merchant and consumer adoption, Bitcoin is quickly achieving escape velocity as a standalone digital currency.
So naturally, Bitcoin businesses are heading to CES in Las Vegas to network and show off their product offerings.
Butterfly Labs, a manufacturer of Bitcoin mining equipment, is exhibiting at the show. BitPay, a Bitcoin payment processor, is hosting a booth. As is Blockchain.info, one of the largest hosted Bitcoin wallets. And BitGo, provider of the industry’s first multi-signature Bitcoin secure wallet, is attending.
