Case Study: BIGCOINX (A fictitious analysis of the importance of Security in the Digital Currency World) Background: BigCoinX (BCX) is an Internet bitcoin exchange start-up founded in early 2013 riding on the boom of interest in the bitcoin currency of the last few years. Established by former work colleagues in the investment banking industry, Mark Buck (current CEO) and Peter Gates (CTO), the company by late 2013 was relatively successful and doing an estimated 1% of all global bitcoin trades. While in the scheme of things, the user base numbers seems good, both Mark and Peter know, that to achieve a critical mass of users that will establish BCX as a "player" in the bitcoin world, they will need to reach numbers upwards of 10% of global bitcoin trades. With bitcoin being a hot topic and Internet start-ups springing up all the time to try to make money from the bitcoin rush, BCX knows it has to stay ahead of the game. The company is continually innovating and responding to user requirements, industry trends and competitive challenges.
