How do I view bitcoin?

I'll tell you as soon as I actually see one. Do you happen to have a picture of one?

You can actually view of a picture of one, rather easily. There are printable bar codes, if you want. Or, you can simply write down the string of alphanumerics that make up that "bitcoin". If you want to feel perfectly safe, take that scrap of paper and bury it in a mason jar. As long as an EMP strike hasn't wiped out >99% of the nodes of bitcoin, you could take that scrap of paper, enter the number into you bitcoin wallet, and use the currency as if nothing happened. Or you could take it to a 7-11 in the middle of the sahara and, assuming they had internet access, use it as you would a dollar bill (assuming they accepted dollar bills).
