Why is Bitcoin interesting? Bitcoin forces me to think about the history of money, how the economy works and encourages me to explore and ask questions about the world I live in. Bitcoin keeps me fascinated and wanted to learn more about it.

My touchpoints with Bitcoin so far: My journey into Bitcoin started with understanding the concept of money and the economy. To me, the real innovation here is Bitcoin’s architecture- i.e. blockchain. Hence, I am keen to understand more use cases around this technology as well as the risks involved and how accountants and auditors can contribute to the safe use of this technology.
