"one of those things" is a subset of "everything", so yes, it is good for bitcoin.

“The concept is so, I guess the word is bizarre,” Kirk’s alter ego, William Shatner, said by phone Wednesday. “You have to blank your mind and say, ‘What is blockchain, again? How does mining operate, again?’ The concepts are really strange, and yet when you begin to grasp it, it makes sense.”

TALLINN. The dream of a Finnish entrepreneur's virtual currency at the Bitcoin users' center was destroyed on Saturday night when the historic Malla mansion burned in northern Estonia.

Investor Risto Pietilä was planning to set up a virtual currency user center in the castle mansion. Pietilä presented the place as the future Bitcoin hub for Helsingin Sanomat in 2014.

Pietilä told me that he had acquired Mala Manor by trading bitcoins. The mansion was considered possibly the largest bitcoin earned investment.

"I wanted something that would be the opposite of bitcoin. I thought it would certainly be a castle, "said Pietilä to Helsingin Sanomat.

The fire was reported to fire department on Friday night at 18.51, and the fire was put out by 4.39 in the morning.

"The person who called reported that there had been renovations going on", says press representative Lilian Pärnsoo from Estonian rescue centre's eastern area.

...

In an interview with HS four years ago, Pietilä said the renovation of the main building would follow the rise of bitcoin value.

"If bitcoin will continue to rise, next year I'm ten times richer than I'm now. If it collapses completely, I have this castle", Pietilä said.

HS did not reach Pietilä on Saturday to comment on the fire.
