Worth noting: this guy posts about Bitcoin in his byline a lot, so it's not like this particular article is that unusual.

The Bloomberg one is a big deal, though.

If there is something that will make Bitcoin succeed, it is growth of utility - greater quantity and variety of goods and services offered for BTC. If there is something that will make Bitcoin fail, it is the prevalence of users convinced that BTC is a magic box that will turn them into millionaires, and of the con-artists who have followed them here to devour them.

Was hosting.co.uk always accepting BTC or is this new?!

Matonis writes about Bitcoin all the time - but I mentioned it because his articles get parroted often and this one had a particularly fun headline that might make the rounds.

Damn it. I smell the beginnings of a bubble. And I kind of promised to myself I wouldn't get involved in day trading.

Matonis articels are well written and can stand any journalistic investigation, in opposite to the doomsday writers Wink. Thats important to me at least. When I occasionally tell somebody about Bitcoin I am more confident these days that a little google research won't let him think its all "dangerous stuff"... This was different a year ago, when I googled "Bitcoin" for the first time. Well, if you search for "Bitcoin" in other languages than english you might be dissappointed - so many nativ english speakers have no glue what that really means.

Oh yeah, that's great news!
All three articles are well written. No surprise with Matonis' here, but I am very happy that even Bloomberg got it right!

Gentlemen, it is beginning.
Maybe it began some time ago, but in short time everything will go nuts! :-)

Anyone know what gambling site gambling911 referes to ?

It's not any of the sites that were taken down by the us govt. previously ? If so, that would be hell of a way to pay back, if they dear doing so, or will we see another player. If one major player accepts bitcoin, the others will soon follow.

I think it will happen, because gambling sites are all about profits, and if there's a way to rise profit, you can be damn sure they will do it!
