http://www.cnet.com/news/bitcoin-platform-coinbase-expands-to-13-european-countries/Starting on Thursday, consumers in 13 European countries -- including Italy, Spain, France and Belgium -- can now buy and sell bitcoins through Coinbase's platform, the company announced. In order to get its service off the ground, Coinbase is calling the expansion a beta program and will limit daily transactions to 500 euros per day. The company expects to raise that limit as time goes on. Coinbase was previously only available in the US.
