WordPress Now Accepts Bitcoin

For the last year, Bitcoin has been kind of like the kid who moves to a new town right in the middle of high school. Sitting alone at lunch. Quiet, but proud. Widely suspected of dealing drugs. He doesn't have any friends and he's not sure he wants them.
Well, that's all over, because this week Bitcoin started hanging out with one of the most popular kids in school.
WordPress, the most widely used blogging platform on the Internet, announced last night that it now accepts Bitcoin payments.
...
Alas, it must be said that while it's getting easier to get rid of your Bitcoins, it's still not getting any easier to buy into the currency. It's the cryptocurrency catch-22.
