I sent 50,000 bits to Medvedev (MedvedevRussiaE). He hasn't collected yet. https://twitter.com/doctorgoss/status/542868594124529665

Hardforks aren't that hard. It’s getting others to use them that's hard.

Bill Gates likes bitcoin fellas  Grin

http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/238103

Quote
After long remaining mostly mum on Bitcoin, Microsoft’s legendary co-founder Bill Gates has spoken. At the Sibos 2014 financial-services industry conference in Boston, America's richest man just threw his weight behind the controversial cryptocash. Well, at least as a low-cost payments solution.  

At the event, when asked about Bitcoin’s potential to ease the cost of payment transactions for moving money from one place to another Gates waxed mostly positively about the virtual money.

“Bitcoin is exciting because it shows how cheap it can be,” he told Erik Schatzker during a Bloomberg TV’s Smart Street show interview yesterday. “Bitcoin is better than currency in that you don’t have to be physically in the same place and, of course, for large transactions, currency can get pretty inconvenient.”

Gates again reiterated his stance on cryptocurrencies when he delivered the event’s closing keynote address, in which he stated that, in the future, financial transactions will eventually “be digital, universal and almost free.”

While he seems relatively bullish on how inexpensive transacting in Bitcoin can be, Gates isn’t singing the praises of its anonymity. The billionaire alluded in an oblique, somewhat rambling fashion to some of the more nefarious anonymous uses associated with Bitcoin.

“The customers we’re talking about aren’t trying to be anonymous,” he told Schatzker. “They’re willing to be known, so Bitcoin technology is key and you can add to it or you could build a similar technology where there’s enough attribution where people feel comfortable that this is nothing to do with terrorism or any type of money laundering.”

Firstly may be it is not right Bill Gates may be - there are a lot of identical names and surnames  Grin And may be if this is exactly Bill Gates Twitter account - someone from his public relations emplyees take care of that.

Good idea but might take a while to get the message through to him, probably like branson where someone tweets on his behalf.
