数字货币

    Beanz和Flooz这两家网站都曾销售过可以用来在线购物的数字货币，并分别获得了1亿美元和3500万美元的风投资金。在“.com”泡沫破裂后，两家公司都退出了历史舞台，“网络货币”概念也受到了广泛的口诛笔伐。但现在，随着数百种加密货币的兴起，数亿美元的资金正在投向与比特币相关的创业公司，由此看来，很多人都相信虚拟货币也是一门长久生意。

    Digital currency

    Both Beanz and Flooz, two startups, sites sold digital currency that could be used for online shopping. They raised $100 million and $35 million in venture funding, respectively. After the dotcom crash, when both companies failed, the idea of “internet money” was widely panned. But now, its clear from the hundreds of cryptocurrencies and hundreds of millions invested into bitcoin-related startups that many believe virtual currency will last.
