Thinking he wants a share of the market and found a good way to do it. 
Big names jumping on board and a further push upwards?

I read the article, but no mention how much BTC it cost. But I guess I have to wait...

Branson was an early investor, he's a bit of gun when it comes to picking what to invest into.

forgot where i read it, maybe reddit.. but a steward used his BTC to pay for a trip out of orbit.. it cost about $250k in USD.

The cost is in dollars. 250.000$ but you can pay them with the equivalent in BTC.
They turn bitcoins back to dollars as soon as they get them anyway.
That kinda put me off

Branson usually moves fast on these things

Branson struggling to pay for spaceship fuel at this point, pretty funny IMHO
