# Bitcoin Is Being Monitored by the U.S. Government :

Cryptocurrencies pose a threat to national security, some experts warn. On a mountainous stretch along the Orange River

between South Africa and Namibia lies a small town called Orania, a homeland founded in the 1990s by white nationalists who

introduced their own currency, the ora—probably the only tender in the world created exclusively for whites. The ora, paper

money pegged to the South African rand, is one of hundreds of alternative currencies issued for mainly political reasons,

but many of the newer currencies are increasingly virtual—digital representations of money consisting of nothing more than computer code.

Most prominent among them: bitcoin, which, like conventional currency, can be traded online, transferred, stored or exchanged

for cash. But, Unlike conventional currency, it lives primarily on the internet, secured by layers of computer code.

Have A Gr8 Day.
