Poor impulse control.
Wow, after all the crap we got from 4chan a couple of years ago?  This is quite a change in position.

let's get a refresher
Huh, the search function produces nothing.  Maybe that whole incident predates this version of the forum? OR perhaps I'm jsut thinking of the wrong website.  Could there be another internet forum with a name similar to 4chan?

I don't recall any 4chan incidents. Lots of SA trolling though.

omg this isn't the first version?

Oh, no.  The first version was actually attached to bitcoin.org, and couldn't handle the kind of volume that it was getting eventually.  Now it sits on a separate server, and I was just wondering if not all of the archives made the transition.

To be fair, there still seem to be quite a few people on the site who think Bitcoin is a joke.

But thanks to services like BitPay and Coinbase (the latter of which the site seems to be using), you can think Bitcoin is a joke and still accept payment in it with impunity.

As of today, Bitcoin is being accepted as a payment method for buying such subscriptions.

I was certain this was going to be some type of prank when I went to look.

Nope, it's real:

One datapoint (Wordpress) can be an exception. Two datapoints (Wordpress + 4chan) can be outliers. But there's also the possibility that these are signs of the wind changing - signs that widespread adoption has finally begun.

Your thoughts?

I agree, maybe 4chan isnt as big as wordpress, but it will get some news for bitcoin for sure.
With all those news recently, i bet many more sites are working on using bitcoin.
2013 will be a very interessting year for bitcoin.

About two months ago, 4chan, one of the largest and best-known forums on the Internet, began a subscription service where for $20/year, users could bypass the requirement to enter a captcha when posting.

As of today, Bitcoin is being accepted as a payment method for buying such subscriptions.
