Connections: Bitcoin - A bubble or the currency of the future?

WXXI News | By Evan Dawson
Published June 5, 2017 at 2:51 PM EDT

How much do you know about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency? The value of Bitcoin has gone through the roof recently. Is it a bubble or could it eventually replace the dollar?

We discuss it with our guests:

  • George Conboy, chairman of Brighton Securities
  • Mike Komaransky, partner at DRW and head of Cumberland Mining, one of the world's largest bitcoin trading companies by volume
  • Collin Paran, organizer for the Rochester Bitcoin Group
