Forget gold. The hot investment during this time of economic uncertainty in Europe appears to be Bitcoin.
Earlier this month, the peer-to-peer virtual currency was trading at a record $40 for one Bitcoin, more than doubling its value since January, when it was languishing in the midteens. In the past three weeks, it has doubled again, trading as high as $95 today.
All told, it's an increase of nearly 350 percent in the past two months, and much of it is because of the banking crisis in Cyprus.
