I can't wait for them to come out internationally. So many places we can use bitcoin to pay for services and goods.

They already said they will be operating in the UK soon.

I don't see the big deal in gyft. If I was gonna spend my coins I want to spend them directly, not exchange them for giftcards.

It's still good news and is promoting the use of Bitcoin, but yeah, I would rather use Bitcoins directly to buy things, but hopefully that'll come later.

Have they said what other merchants they'll use?

I want to buy things on Amazon UK. They told me they are not going to accept bitcoin. So this is the only way I can buy from Amazon UK using bitcoin.
