Gold @ gox. 
That's when Gox BTC first sold for more than Kitco gold (was $1242).
Weren't we still like ~4BTC short when we hit the 1242BTC peek? Still, that close, who gives at this point! I don't.

It seems that it doesn't matter if you are running in front, or behind the train; If you are not ON the train you will be run down

The only worry I have is we're a market rather than an economy. We need to make 2014 the year when bitcoin destroys western union and is much more widely accepted for buying stuff. Remittance is the killer app.
+1If we can deal with it not looking expensive and getting across that you can spend a dollar via BTC, and it's cheaper than WU - it will be adopted.
People aren't stupid if they can save money - they just need to realise that they can - and it's accessible and practical to someone with 200 bucks to send home.

Gold $1252 spot on Kitco right now. So ^almost^ there (MtGox).
Oops - out of date prices, apologies.... Soon though, eh?
Give it an hour or two..

What if Western union installed Bitcoin ATM's in every shop?Fully agree. They need to do something quickly or they will be in major trouble because Bitcoin overlaps their core business model.

Interesting thing about africa is they never had landlines widely available. They went straight to mobiles. Similarly most people don't have bank accounts so they may go straight to bitcoin.
I'd fucking love it if bitcoin allowed africa to climb out of the pit the usa/euro has put them in but I won't be buying any blood diamonds nonetheless.

tldr: kenyans send 1.2 billion dollars home per annum. mostly through wu

Western Union and MoneyGram International Inc. deduct $10 to $17 to wire $200 to Kenya from the U.S., including charges to exchange funds, in a process that can take an hour to five days, according to the World Bank’s Send Money Africa price database. BitPesa will charge 3 percent on overseas transfers and says the money arrives the same day. At that rate, it would cost $6 to send $200 via BitPesa.
