Marketplace Tech for Monday, December 16, 2013
All this week, Marketplace Tech is looking at Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency's price has soared.

But first, what the heck is Bitcoin? Plus, how Facebook can benefit from joining the S&P 500. And, Google stops letting Android users block apps from accessing non-essential data.
