Did anyone see this coming?(rumors or anything?) Cuz, I had no idea.

It was leaked (but not by name) in September:

BitPay is also in early discussions with three of the top 25 websites ranked by Alexa, which are testing BitPay's systems, he said.


Just takes one to get the party started.  Then it is just a matter of playing follow the leader.

This.  Your move Reddit.

Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

+1 excellent point on not pushing those BTC right back into the banking system...that's the real inflection point and when you'll know that the train has left the station...I do applaud WordPress for a stellar business move (Congrats to Tony G. too).

On thing I just now realized by reading Worpress comments, is that this also enables a whole new way for bloggers to fund their blogging.

Accepting Bitcoin donations directly in their blog and use them to fund their blog.

Crowdfund blogging!

All previous versions of currency will no longer be supported as of this update

Indeed.  Won't be long until they go:  "Hang on.  Does that mean I could receive some of these bitcoins directly from my readers?"

And then for them it will be a "let there be light" moment.

I just dropped WordPress on my useless site http://we.lovebitco.in - as a webmaster I would say it's the worst of content management systems (I need to edit template files to disable comments??) and only have one client with it still, who basically uses a theme's front page and nothing else, but if you want a blog that works and looks like every other WordPress site it's pretty slick.

WOW I think few people realize at this point how radical a move this is on the part of WordPress.

Supporting people with beautiful creative ideas. Bitcoin is because of the developers,exchanges,merchants,miners,investors,users,machines and blockchain technologies work together.

Anybody know any WordPress employees? We gotta get them to start asking for salary in bitcoins, now that WordPress is going to have a bunch of them.
