Jack Lew: Govt. Needs More Time To Discuss Bitcoin

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said Thursday the government needs more time to explore the effect of bitcoin, a virtual currency.

"Bitcoin is a phenomenon that we need more time to discuss. I've talked to [JPMorgan CEO] Jamie Dimon about it, and he and I both share some incredulity about the whole phenomenon," Lew said on CNBC Thursday during his visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
