"India banning Bitcoin" threads incoming in few months Yes. India had actually banned the trading of bitcoin. A government change is going to occur in India within the next 10 days. So let's hope that the new government is more pro-Bitcoin than the outgoing one. I hope that everything would change to pro-Bitcoin, i'll keep my fingers crossed

http://cointelegraph.com/post/north_american_bitcoin_conference_coming_to_chi_townThe second North American Bitcoin Conference is coming to Chicago this summer. The much-anticipated event will draw thousands of Bitcoin entrepreneurs, businessmen, and tech-savvy developers to the Windy City on July 19-20.
Moe Levin, the organizer of the event, is anticipating an even larger draw in Chicago than the popular first NABC in Miami. Levin elaborated:
“Last conference was spectacular – we expected 750 people, but over 1200 people came. The biggest one yet in the states. Thankfully, we were able to scale it and open up extra rooms. We’re hoping to double that this time in Chicago.”

One sign of increasing Bitcoin acceptance around the world is the presence of the Bitcoin ATM. So far, Singapore has 8 Bitcoin ATMs installed throughout the city-state, including the island’s first cash-out cable ATM in late March. http://cointelegraph.com/post/bitcoin_in_singapore

lol.... thinking about this: And to make things even sweeter, there’s a dating site geared specifically towards Bitcoin enthusiasts. 99% of the users will be male. And the competition for the remaining 1% will be fierce. Lol) Maybe that's the how it'll turn out, but I, like always, like the concept of the site because it promotes Bitcoin to the masses.
