People can interact with several components of the exhibit including Bitcoin ATMs, interactive display screens, and a hand powered proof of work Bitcoin miner. This extremely well put together exhibit will help educate the public on how cryptocurrency works as well as explain how it compares to precious metals and fiat currencies in terms of value and spend-ability.
