A big milestone.

Quote
Bitcoin ticker finally arrives on the famed Bloomberg terminal, which is central to all data on Wall Street and beyond. This has only been released internally so far to the employees, perhaps for testing. Pricing sources include MtGox and TradeHill.

Makes me wonder if they are aware of the fact that MtGox does not let people withdraw their money from the exchange and the price there is a total fantasy.

Hey, this is Bitcoin. They will expect any amount of monkey-business to be going on!

Hopefully some of their tech people will find out about Bitstamp and BTC-E and use a composite weighted average. This is commonly done in the fx world for floating currencies.
