400 European Banks Accept Bitcoin Purchase Agreement

More European banks are becoming associated with Bitcoin. While short-term investors see the dollar price drop on Bitcoin, and panic sell in droves, Bitcoin gains another major international deal signing in Europe. 247Exchange.com, based out of Belize, has secured an agreement with Sofort Banking, providing Bitcoin purchasing access to over 22,000 European bank branches throughout the continent.

That's actually quite the achievement
It won't help put down the selling pressure right now but it does develop a larger base for usage
21 million coins hmm 1 for each of them this will be amusing kid

Great news. PPL in Europe will be easy to buy and sell bitcoin through banks eliminating the obstacle from banks, which to some extent the governments are giving the green light to bitcoin. More bitcoin startups will follow the steps of  247Exchange.com. Hopefully it will push up the bitcoin price.

It would be better if the banks themselves sold the Bitcoin, rather than the third party. Like some countries where banks sell gold and silver

A bit creative with the headline, no?  247exchange has basically found a banking partner that works within the Sofort network, as far as I can tell.  It's not like you can go into one of those banks and ask for bitcoins...
