Whether you're riding the bitcoin wave or feel you missed out on the gold rush, blockchain evangelists say not to fear; there's an even bigger investment opportunity around the corner.
In CNBC's new original documentary, "Bitcoin: Boom or Bust," anchor Melissa Lee transports viewers to one of those emerging markets: South Africa.

But it's an unusual encounter with an Uber driver that paints the most vivid use case for digital currency's future.
