Title: Another "perfect storm"?
Post by: ehoffman on April 24, 2013, 04:29:17 PM
Well, that's a lot of news for Bitcoins in a few days...

- PayPal president is fascinated by Bitcoin, says company is ‘thinking about’ including the virtual currency (http://"http://thenextweb.com/insider/2013/04/24/paypal-president-is-fascinated-by-bitcoin-says-company-is-thinking-about-including-the-virtual-currency/")
- Presidential candidate will only accept Bitcoin as contribution (http://"http://www.examiner.com/article/presidential-candidate-will-only-accept-bitcoin-as-contribution")
- OkCupid To Accept Bitcoin For A-list Subscription Service (http://"http://www.techieinsider.com/news/15729/bitcoin-subscription/")
- NoHo Internet Cafe Now Accepts Virtual Currency Bitcoin  (http://"http://northhollywood.patch.com/articles/noho-internet-cafe-now-accepts-virtual-currency-bitcoin")
etc. etc.

So far, much news are "good" news, very few "bad" news.  And it seams like since we've hit 260$+ once, people see it as doable again.  However, since we crashed not long ago, and it's raising again, it looks like the bad days are over (already!).

So, will we see another bubble (or are we in a bubble!).

For sure, Paypal accepting Bitcoins would just be insane, and make all of the Web goodies accessible with Bitcoins (and not just the Bitpay or custom Bitcoins payment processors).  Read here jump to 500$ within a few weeks!

NoHo is a neighborhood in Manhattan. Manhattan is an island that is a part of New York City.

NoHo is short for "North of Houston Street" just like SoHo is short for "South of Houston Street".

And it's pronounced like House-ton, not like the city in Texas. Siri doesn't seem to know that.
