From the newspaper that brought you “How to spend it”, we now bring you “How to spend it: bitcoin edition”.

Looking for a guitar, a new Samsung tablet, or even some real estate? Open up that digital wallet and fork over your virtual currency.

Some positive editorial for a change eg.

Quote
As bitcoin’s value spiked after the Cyprus bailout, some observers assumed that people would hoard their stashes in typical speculator fashion. If it was worth $100 a week ago and it’s $200 today, it must be worth hanging on to see if $300 is in the cards. Nobody will spend something that is appreciating so quickly.

But it turns out that, as Patrick Testagrossa, owner of ecommerce site Bitcoinblaster.com, can attest, people who suddenly carry buying power start exercising it.
