Hey there, my name is Jebe, I have been lurking for many weeks.

In the past months I have conducted several transactions with bitcoin, and have been educating myself regarding cryptography, anonymity, bitcoins, and other related subjects.

I created my bitcointalk.org account today because I saw a post that prompted me to want to enter my role as an active participating member of the community.

For my first contribution, I would like to reply to this topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=119100.0 by pointing out that Google's currency conversion service is provided by Citibank (as documented here https://www.google.com/intl/en/help/currency_disclaimer.html). I'm not sure exactly what implications this might have regarding the incorporation of BTC into Google, but I thought this might prompt some discussion. Perhaps Google is able to offer instant USD/BTC conversion rates as a seperate service, but I doubt that Citibank would approve.

I would make some posts in the Newbie section (and will if this request goes unanswered) but I would love to jump right in and this topic is the one that got me motivated to go through the motions of creating a profile.

Thank you for your consideration.
