Bitcoin Community News

Bitcoin community is the loose association of people who use Bitcoin on a regular basis and are interested in it becoming a popular, widely accepted form of money. It includes owners and employees of various Bitcoin startups, media outlets dedicated to Bitcoin, Bitcoin traders, investors, evangelists, and just regular people, all of whom communicate with each other and work towards the advancement of Bitcoin. Some of the major hubs where Bitcoin community is present are online forums, such as Bitcointalk and the /r/Bitcoin subreddit.
