Bitcoin: A Stock Photo Cryptocurrency Primer (15 photos)

Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, blockchain - these things are huge, right? Still unsure if you should invest your time or money, don’t know the difference between a Satoshi and a gigahash? Well, stock photography is here to help give us a sense of the inner workings, background, and the dos and don'ts of the bitcoin ecosystem. Because there’s nothing better than images of collectible coins, stage props, miniatures, and professional models to convey the intricacies of a distributed, decentralized, encrypted digital asset functioning as a virtual currency. Stock photographers have made many creative attempts to illustrate these tricky virtual concepts, often using golden novelty coins (that have no actual bitcoin value), sometimes with delicious results.

First, while bitcoin might be used to purchase a plush toy or comfortable blanket for your kitten, the collectible coin itself (no actual bitcoin value, just a novelty desk toy) is a poor substitute. Based on current valuation, and prices, one bitcoin could purchase 1,230 fleece cuddle blankets for Mittens here. (Gtlv / Shutterstock)
