Two days ago I paid bitcoins (bitcents, that is) for my coffee and a snack.  This is a great local breakthrough for Bitcoin!

A detail I particularly appreciate in the article is the use of "digital currrency" and "e-currency" instead of the virtually meaningless "virtual currency"... Also, the lack of inflamatory statements is refreshing. It's another payment option, with low fees, and relatively easy to use. Great.

Perfect. Now Ian Bakewell can buy tea and biscuits locally with his stash of coins.
