It's pretty cool how something this big hardly passes much comment these days .. almost like it not entirely unexpected.

Wonder what it would take to really move things along now?

awesome... so who the heck ins coinbase, and why should I use them?

I thought they were just an exchange, yes?

EDIT: ok, sounds like I need to re-evaluate my exchanges I use, or perhaps add some.

Seems as painful as adding or subtracting a bank account nowadays...
Coinbase for selling BTCs
Fold for spending BTCs
PM me with any questions on these sites/apps!  http://www.montybitcoin.com


or Vircurex for trading alt cryptocurrencies like DOGEs
CoinNinja for exploring the blockchain.

Don't worry, as soon as you have a real pressing need to buy bitcoin their algorithm will randomly decide that you're a fraud-risk despite the fact that you've purchased thousands of USD worth of coins from them for several months.

Yea, I'm not bitter or anything.
