In the twelve years or so since it was mysteriously created by a shadowy coder or coders, cryptocurrency has come an extraordinarily long way. At first no more than a fanciful experiment, an online wheeze traded between nerds and true believers, Bitcoin and its likenesses are now a headline-grabbing phenomenon poised to upend the stodgy world of mainstream finance forever. And all the big tech firms are watching closely, weighing up just what this crypto revolution means for them.

Join us today as we crunch the numbers and learn how, and why, the big tech companies are adopting cryptocurrencies.
