This story on CNBC today is interesting. CloudHashing has an agreement with Digital CC and its CEO is a director of Digital CC.
"The megaminer Cloud Hashing expects its nearly 3,000 computers in Dallas and Iceland to produce $100 million worth of bitcoins this year, divvied up between investors who buy contracts from Cloud Hashing. (ie. Digital CC)
"People pay anywhere between $1,000 all the way to $1.5 million to mine with us," CEO Emmanuel Abiodun said. Abiodun, a former programmer for JPMorgan Chase, didn't buy into the bitcoin uprising at first. "I thought bitcoin was a scam back then," he said.
His conversion came studying the program. Abiodun said he saw it's potential to revolutionize the existing payment system. "This thing is solid, this is well-written. This thing is going to really solve a lot of problems," Abiodun said.
For Vittitoe and Abiodun to keep making money on bitcoin, the digital currency has to get wider acceptance and to gain wider acceptance, Abiodun believes introducing regulation into the currently unregulated digital currency is key.
"Probably people want to stone me for saying that, but I do believe the lack of regulation is holding a lot of money on the sidelines," Abiodun said. —By CNBC's Karina Frayter.
