“What kind of car will a bitcoiner never drive?”/“A Fiat.”

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency—the opposite of fiat money (such as U.S. dollars). A riddle is:
 
Q: What kind of car will a bitcoiner never drive?
A: A Fiat.

 
The bitcoin joke was posted on Reddit on December 26, 2013.
   
     
Wikipedia: Bitcoin
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and a payment system invented by an unidentified programmer, or group of programmers, under the name of Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin was introduced on 31 October 2008 to a cryptography mailing list, and released as open-source software in 2009. There have been various claims and speculation concerning the identity of Nakamoto, none of which are confirmed. The system is peer-to-peer and transactions take place between users directly, without an intermediary. These transactions are verified by network nodes and recorded in a public distributed ledger called the blockchain, which uses bitcoin as its unit of account. Since the system works without a central repository or single administrator, the U.S. Treasury categorizes bitcoin as a decentralized virtual currency. Bitcoin is often called the first cryptocurrency, although prior systems existed and it is more correctly described as the first decentralized digital currency. Bitcoin is the largest of its kind in terms of total market value.

A Few Words About Bitcoin… Because Fiat Is Not Just A Car
Neale Godfrey
With more and more companies around the world accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment, “fiat” has once again become part of the mainstream conversation, and is not only synonymous with those cute Italian cars. Fiat actually has a strong relation to money, which is why I’m writing about this subject. So, why is fiat currency important? There are global discussions on this topic, which are taking place in boardrooms across the globe. Now, it’s time to move those discussions to your dining room and get your children and grandchildren involved in the conversation.
