Thats another step which will make bitcoin rise in value even more this year!! There are so many places now starting to accept bitcoins i bet in 5 years time you could nearly do your groceries shopping with them!
Well, we aren't so far away from it. I think if bitcoin will do good then it should be way less than 5 years  Wink

True, but this mostly applies to the USA in my opinion. I live in Ireland, EU, and over here i have yet to see a single place that accepts bitcoins as payment. Agree that in the other countries especially the US it probably will hit big much faster, but since ireland is usually 5 years or more behind implementing latest technology etc that is used in other european countries, 5 years is a very optimistic esitmate.
I mean in 2008 the best broadband you could get here was like 10mb, now the best connection you can get is 100mb, while in most other EU countries that is wayyy more

You can spend your Bitcoins at www.takeaway.com which allows you to order food/drink from many places in the EU, China & Vietnam.

Looking forward to that.  Also in the news is that the US Gov has stated they will liquidate the seized coins from Silk Road at some time soon.  I hope they sell them on the markets.   Grin

I know some coins are already being traded on Ebay, but many have been taken off.
Could this see less of a need for the exchanges one day?

Still not sure how safe it'll be to sell with PP on there. They need to change their other rules to make this a safe and viable option.
