There is more to Bitcoin than bitcoins.
Two days ago I paid bitcoins (bitcents, that is) for my coffee and a snack.  This is a great local breakthrough for Bitcoin!

A detail I particularly appreciate in the article is the use of "digital currrency" and "e-currency" instead of the virtually meaningless "virtual currency"... Also, the lack of inflamatory statements is refreshing. It's another payment option, with low fees, and relatively easy to use. Great.
