The internet has been given a fantastic opportunity: watching the head of a major company slowly transform from bitcoin skeptic to bitcoin zealot. It is a transistion many of the Bitcoin faithful admit to going through themselves, but it is nonetheless fascinating watching the CEO of Zillow and boardmember of TripAdvisor, Spencer Rascoff, go through his own transformation.

Zillow is one of the most visited real estate websites in America, while TripAdvisor is exactly what it sounds like: booking information and reviews for flights, hotels and restaurants.

Well a real estate deal worth $1 600 000 would make more believers of a group of these people.

I like all the good bitcoin news
Now if the price went up in a bubbly format I would be truly satisfied although I just went from hmm whats this to hmm need more research to WOW I want to try this in a matter of weeks lol.

Rascoff's transformation to the darkside is complete. Yesterday, he took to Twitter to express his complete conversion from bitcoin skeptic to bitcoin believer.


But more importantly, now I believe in bticoin's potential, with the zealotry of a convert.

Not the darkside but the right side

We really need more stories of people coming round to bitcoin like this. It's great to see. I wonder if he could put in a good word over at TripAdvisor?

Always nice to see him come out publicly and admit he was not still a disbeliever in Bitcoin.  Hope he sees a pick up in business by Bitcoin users for a long time to come.  Also here's hoping his Bitcoin Investment works out ok also.

It takes a lot of guts to admit you were wrong and publically state so. I hope more neysayers come round eventually.
