As more and more high-valued websites post articles about Bitcoin and it's increasing price, we may probably be seeing an increase in velocity. These are definitely good news.

The real potential is merchant acceptance. These articles are great, but the biggest effect on price this week might have been the Dish Network news.


At this point, the real potential is employee acceptance. When more companies are willing to pay employees some percentage of their salary optionally in bitcoin, that'll close the loop. We already have tens of thousands of merchants...

It looks like they decided to pick up an article from investing.com.

It's a good sign that they feel that the price of bitcoin is a newsworthy event. It's also good that the average person checking the NASDAQ site sees bitcoin as just another financial instrument available for use and or investment.

When the Winklevoss' fund gets listed there on NASDAQ like it's supposed to at some point here it will be even better. That will be another milestone for bitcoin. Average people will be able to buy their ETF with their Schaub or E-Trade account like they would buy APPL or MSFT.

I find it funny how 'average people' think it's easier to buy bitcoin through all that bureaucratic crap (i wouldn't even know how to buy stocks if my life depended on it) than to just buy some from a BTC/USD exchange or any of the many other ways to buy bitcoin.

Do you think a Bitcoin fund will soon be listed on NASDAQ for trading?

Why or Why not?

wasn't the winkelevosses working on this?
