-    <h2>What are bitcoins?</h2>
-    <p>
-    Bitcoins are units of digital currency that can be 
-    transferred over the Internet.
-    They get sent to a bitcoin address and stored in a digital wallet 
-    that you can access with a 
-    password. Creating a wallet is free and 
-    easy -- <a href="https://blockchain.info/wallet/new" target="_blank">try it</a>.
-    </p>
-    
-    <p>
-    New bitcoin addresses start with a zero balance.  Transactions between addresses are 
-    recorded in a file that gets published on 
-    the Internet.  The file keeps track of every transaction that's ever taken place and therefore knows the balance of every address.
-    </p>
-    
-    <p>
-    New bitcoins are generated every 10 minutes and distributed to people who volunteer computing power to run the bitcoin network. The 
-    <a href="http://bitcoin.org">software to participate</a> is free and open source so anyone can run it on their computer to earn bitcoins.
-    </p>
-
-    <p>
-    Over time, fewer and fewer 
-    bitcoins will be created until finally there are a total of 
-    21 million of them in circulation by the year 2040. Each one of them
-    is divisible up to 8 decimal places, making 
-    it possible to transact small amounts.
-    </p>

-    <h2>Why use them?</h2>
-    <p>
-    They're free, fast, secure, and global.  Merchants 
-    don't get charged for accepting them and you don't 
-    get charged for transferring them, even 
-    internationally. There are no fees, prerequisites, or 
-    limits. You can register addresses anonymously and 
-    create as many accounts as you like. They can 
-    never be frozen because no central authority 
-    controls them. Whether you're sending a fraction of 
-    a cent or a million dollars, the network doesn't 
-    discriminate.
-    </p>
-    
-    <p>
-    You can use bitcoins to send free, 
-    immediate payments to your friends and family 
-    from your phone or laptop so you can pay a co-worker 
-    back for coffee, transfer wages to family overseas, 
-    or donate to organizations like WikiLeaks who've 
-    been cut off by the major payment companies. Or, use bitcoins to securely
-    store your savings and gain access to them 
-    from anywhere that has Internet access. They tend to 
-    appreciate in value over time because of their 
-    limited supply, so they make a good investment. 
-    Unlike dollars and other national currencies, no 
-    government or issuing authority can print more of 
-    them.

-    There are several bitcoin markets operating online as well. The largest one in Canada 
-    is <a href="http://cavirtex.com/">cavirtex.com</a> and is run out of Calgary. They link up buyers and sellers and facilitate trades by 
-    allowing you to deposit and withdraw Canadian dollars directly from your bank account. A list of other 
-    online exchanges and their rates can be found at <a href="http://bitcoincharts.com">bitcoincharts.com</a>.

-    <h2>How is their price set?</h2>
-    <p>
-    Most merchants accepting bitcoin will use an 
-    exchange rate from  one of the online markets 
-    to determine their equivalent 
-    dollar value. The exchange rate is simply the last 
-    price that some seller was able to charge some 
-    buyer for bitcoins in the free market and is 
-    governed by supply and demand.
-    </p>
-
-    <p>
-    Bitcoins aren't backed by any underlying 
-    commodity or insured by any authority. They 
-    have value as a currency due to their mathematically 
-    guaranteed scarcity, security, divisibility,
-    and global recognition.

-    <p>
-    You can <a href="/merchants">spend them locally</a> at one of our participating merchants or check out
-    <a href="http://bitcoinmagazine.net/where-to-spend-your-bitcoins/">this article</a> for some other suggestions.
-    The number of <a href="https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade">companies accepting bitcoins</a>
-    is growing quickly and we're working to get more stores accepting them in 
-    Vancouver.  We believe it'll be in 
-    their best interest to avoid the transaction fees 
-    charged by the credit card companies. Transaction 
-    fees end up getting built into the prices we pay for 
-    goods and services across the board so we're always
-    subsidizing the banks and payment companies.
