Yesterday, paypal posted a video to their youtube channel; "We can spend Bitcoin with a tap"

And today, Satoshi's old email account was mysteriously hacked creating a lot of buzz in the media. I almost forgot that Apple were announcing their new mobile payments service today...

Funny how that timing worked out, eh?

Welcome to the 21st century currency wars  Cool

More news(bad or good) = more Bitcoin exposure = more people joining Bitcoin, sooner or latter.

I like the currency wars

The Satoshi email account hack was the one that really surprised me. I never thought I would see the bitcoin download pages on sourceforge defaced.

I agree, it's been a crazy time for news that is for sure but the more news that comes in the more exposure bitcoin gets I guess even if it's under these circumstances such as hackings which I will admit shocked me when I first heard about it as it's not something you would expect to hear.
