When you started working there, how soon did you learn that you forfeit your tips? Did you consider this to be reasonable?

It's like The Matrix, here, see it for yourself.

EDIT: You're very welcome.

A Bitcoin is an entry on a ledger. Miners not only are generating new bitcoins by solving these equations but also verifying each time a bitcoin is sent from one addressed to another. They get to keep a miniscule fee from each one of the transactions. Those are the rewards for the time and energy it takes to do the math.

There is nothing backing the bitcoin like how gold used to back the dollar. It's purely worth what people are willing to pay for it. The current explosion in value is due to speculators/investors jumping on the bandwagon especially now that the Chinese have caught the Bitcoin fever. It's actual value is its strengths over traditional electronic methods of sending money.
