Hi all --- 
  
Our magazine is actually doing a story on Bitcoin.  I have read 3 stories so far, trying to 
comprehend them.  Thought I did understand it as a "token-like" currency, but was then 
told they are not tokens.  You get more of them by "mining them" .... ? Who runs the "mine" 
so to speak ? 
  
I figured you cutting edge types that transact with China may actually have used these. 
Could you explain to muggles what it really is, if its is not a token-type "currency" that you buy ? 
  
baffled. 
  
I read the Bloomberg, the Economist and Wired recent stories on it.  Thxxx
