When I talk to my clients about bitcoin and they ask to see the price, I've been showing the price at xe.com, a site they're familiar with, not bitstamp or kraken or another primary source. Bloomberg is even more well known than xe, so it's good to have another familiar choice to mention to them.

How are people reacting to BTC lately?
I know MtGox did huge damage:
Do you get people who think BTC went bankrupt, and how about positive reactions?

I view this as bullish for both short and long term.  Always nice to see it being accepted more and more.

Glad to see that Bloomberg finally came through on this.  The more exposure the better.

Big news gents, once the hedge funds see the huge volatility in BTC they'll fall in love.  

Instead of whales with millions to play with, the hedge funds with billions could move the market 30-50% intraday.

Hedge funds have known about bitcoin for a while now. Some have bitcoin positions.

Bloomberg Professional service is limited to paid subscribers only, right? So unfortunately I won't be able to check the exchange rates. They should have made it available on the free service as well.  Angry

If you are just after the prices on your smartphone, tablet, use this one http://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/.

Check the symbol XBT vs USD, EUR, JPY... etc.
Also download available for black"bah"berry, android, etc. Custom currencies and charts.
Its not the best visually, but if works a charm.

wow the XE site that's big news when did that happen !

Indeed it works like a charm ! I never used it before! Thanks for sharing.

XE have done good job with it.

Nope... Don't want to use XE. I really wanted to saw the images on the Bloomberg site itself. Seems like I'll have to wait for some more time, until some one posts the screenshots.

Note: Seems like someone had already posted it:

this will be a good thing and get more investors onboard. so prepare for a price rise. just dont expect anything in the next 48 hours, as it takes atleast 2 days to get verified on exchanges

good.

But they should add others exchanges with higher volumes, like bitstamp, btc-e, huobi, etc...


And I don't think this will have significative influence in the price, most ppl just don't know or use bloomberg.

I don't think it will move the price.
Big players already know about bitcoin, they are possibly invested bigtime already.

YES! I was waiting for it! They announce this a month or so ago Smiley it is great feature for Bloomberg and great support to Bitcoin!



Hurray! Agreed. When a "reputable" company like Bloomberg takes notice of Bitcoin, it means they believe in it, and don't want to be left out.
Too bad its not available on the free app...
