this could be a great month for BTC  (like many before  )

That's awesome. They recognized it as some what a currency now.

Actually they did even better than Yahoo Finance. Google has added charts showing historical prices (although available only from June 2013), while the Yahoo Finance page is showing a blank graph.

Google strengthens ties with bitcoin

The new tool is perhaps the most direct integration with some aspects of bitcoin on Google’s part. In the past, members of Google’s leadership have intimated that, in time, the search giant will come to accept bitcoin in some capacity.

In March, Jared Cohen, Google’s director of ideas, remarked at the SXSW conference in Austin, Texas, that digital currencies are “inevitable”. At the same time, he wondered aloud if bitcoin itself would prove to be the top digital currency or the blueprint for many to come.

On the technology side, bitcoin may find a place within Google’s sphere of influence via Google Glass.

Last month, a startup called Eaze announced Nod to Pay. This app allows wearers of Google Glass to make payments in bitcoin, with wallet support for Blockchain and Coinbase users.

Was only a matter of time I suppose.  Wonder how long it will be before google incorporates it into their own online wallet as an option?  (my guess: 1q of next year at the latest...hopefully sooner)

Recently when i come to the press subforum, most of the news are good news for bitcoin.

Thanks for sharing the info. I used google finance few weeks ago, searching btc without success and now I just reinstalled the app finding BTC under the "get quotes" button...but something seems wrong with the app :/

Yeah, Google took over .... and it looks like we can abandon the "Press" thread now:

Wow that was fast. So much good news all around.

[kjlimo]

Hah, good times.

Now I can easily compare bitcoin performance to the rest of my portfolio... oh wait, I haven't looked at the rest of my portfolio for about 12 months... especially now that 97% of my portfolio is bitcoin... I probably need to reallocate my strategy... at least a "bit."

There are already 70 news for the month of June. But Google cannot replace the news we from BitcoinTalk...
I like the videos and articles posted here, as well as the rumours and f.u.d.

[newIndia]

I heard Bloomberg also added Bitcoin ticker. Also read about it on CoinDesk. Can someone please point to their ticker link like we have for Google & Yahoo ?
