Warren Buffet is the CEO of Bitcoin, according to Google. Of course, Buffet is not the CEO of bitcoin and has actually voiced his distaste for cryptocurrencies. As pointed out on Reddit, that has not stopped misinformation from spreading on the search giant. A simple search of "bitcoin CEO" on Google named Buffet, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, and Mastercard CEO Ajay Banga, as all being – at least at one time – the CEO of the cryptocurrency. This information is wrong for many reasons, chief among them is that bitcoin is not a company and does not have a chief executive. –VICE       2. An inflatable white rat has been placed outside the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's office in New York in an effort to gain attention for bitcoin. Placed by artist Nelson Saiers, the rat is covered with code, and the letters "PoW," short for proof-of-work, on its eyes. The rat was placed in protest to the control the Federal Reserve holds over the financial system. –COINDESK       Seamlessly access digital currencies today with Uphold!  Instantly invest, convert, and transfer 8 cryptocurrencies + 23 fiats + 4 precious metals.

The organization, which features more than 38 million members, came out this week with a glossary of Wall Street buzzwords. The definition of bitcoin was less than flattering. "Bitcoin — A bunch of computer code that a bunch of criminals, idealists and speculators agree is worth 'real' money. Sadly, its real-money value swings widely, making it impractical except for criminals, idealists and speculators." –MARKET WATCH       6 Week Blockchain Programme Prepare your business for the blockchain revolution, as you learn from global experts and industry leaders, and interact with an international cohort of likeminded professionals. Learn more now.        5.
