Coinbase Leads Charge In Bitcoin's Consumerization

Screen Shot 2013-05-27 at 3.56.26 PMBecause why do anything other than try out hot technologies on Memorial Day, I just bought some Bitcoin. I might finally play Dots and maybe 3D-print an ear later this afternoon.I would not have bought my .1 ($13.17) in Bitcoin if it weren't for a startup called Coinbase, which is "one of the places that looked less sketchy" according to TechCrunch editor and Bitcoin bug John Biggs. "It's one of the ones I would tell my Mom to use," Biggs insisted. Indeed, if your mom knows how to link a bank account to a Fidelity or Charles Schwab account and buy mutual funds, buying Bitcoin through Coinbase is a similar deal. Just input her account and routing number, verify a couple of small transactions and your mom will be one step closer to Silk Road.
