Bitcoin Wins Best Technology Achievement Winner Bitcoin | Crunchies Awards 2013
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
Eyewitnesses at the Crunchies tonight reported seeing a shadowy figure hiding in the eaves of the opera hall, watching the proceedings with a gimlet eye. Perhaps, in light of the Best Technology Achievement going to Bitcoin, Satoshi himself was lurking in the gloom?
GigaOm’s Tom Krazit and Khosla Ventures Keith Rabois awarded the prize to Satoshi stand-in Peter Vessenes, Chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation. After less than four years of steady growth, the cryptocurrency is now top-of-mind for most of the Valley as everyone – from twins to pirates – are looking into how to monetize the blockchain.
