jbuck Moderator United States 188046 Posts	Posted 05/26/2015 4:42 pm I do like the educational angle here. If you are going to learn about money, something as volatile as the bit coin is sure to be a good lesson. However, I think the bigger lesson for them will be discovering how much their text books depreciate over a school term.

jbuck Moderator United States 188046 Posts	Posted 05/27/2015 3:00 pm I thought it was referring to a machine to sell bitcoins, making "a printer and paper" the answer to your question. Now if it means machines that take bitcoins, it would make for a very expensive snack. Unless bitcoins are fractional.
