Google X logo

Above is the logo for Google’s innovation wing – Google X. The logo – known as “Solve for x” –  is essentally a challenge to the world by Sergey Brin and co.

Below is a solution I came up with:

Solved for Bitcoin

“x = B”

Now, if only Sergey and co. walked the walk…

Bitcoin represents a revolutionary genuine solution to a genuine problem that materially affects every person on earth. With Google’s backing bitcoin would be unstoppable.
