Heh.  I wonder what will be the catalyst to cause bigger ecommerce to finally "discover" Bitcoin.

If I had to guess it will be some 17 year old kid that leverages Bitcoin's benefits (e.g., no chargebacks, dramatically lower fees, funds available for spending nearly instantaneously, universal - no borders) to trounce an established, well-known competitor in like 3 months after launch.  Then that little upstart gets funding and that creates a story for the media, and the rest, as they say, is history.
