What kind of major company would put out an announcement like that on April 1st? Only a true badass like Western Union. You see, the joke was, that they did it on april fools, so that you'd think the joke was a joke of the nature that the jokester wants the jokee to believe the joke really wasn't a joke, when in reality it was the joke of the variety in which the jokester wants the jokee to believe the joke is actually a joke. Thats the whole joke. Title: Re: 2013-04-02 Mashable.com 'Western Union Mulls Using Bitcoin' Post by: BTC Books on April 03, 2013, 05:47:09 AM Seriously? You mean it wasn't an April Fool's joke? WTF?
