Another one that I've been paying a lot of attention to in the last 6 to 12 months has been Bitcoin.

I think there's a lot of different things happening.

The Book Of Satoshi: Bitcoin Has Changed Everything / Currencies / Bitcoin

BITCOIN HAS CHANGED EVERYTHING. Its importance as an evolution in money and banking cannot be overstated. Notice I don’t use the word “revolution” here because I consider Bitcoin to be a complete “evolution” from the anachronistic money and banking systems that humanity has been using—and been forced by government dictate to use—for at least the last hundred years.

By: Mike_McAra

In short: no positions are suggested for the short-term.

SwiftBoatVet, a Reddit user, posted a couple screens they got while filling out a survey for PayPal. It seems that the survey itself was revolving around Bitcoin, asking for direct comparisons of the two payment systems. While this fits in quite well with the comments made recently by eBay’s (owner of PayPal) CEO, John Donahoe, who expressed the opinion PayPal could integrate Bitcoin, the survey itself turned out to be somewhat unclear since it treated Bitcoin more as a PayPal clone than a currency or payment system.

Bitcoin Use - eBay, PayPal, Apple & Dish Approve Of Bitcoin. Is Google Next? / Currencies / Bitcoin

By: Jeff_Berwick

Justin O'Connell writes: Bitcoin has proven itself as an established payments system, with some of the world's most influential people commenting on its utility and innovation. Stephen Colbert called it "gold for nerds," and Joe Rogan has been fascinated by the technology, having Andreas Antonopoulos on as a guest to the Joe Rogan Experience twice now. Some political figures have expressed concerns over the currency's potential non-crime of "money laundering", but overall the sentiment has focused on the technology and its goundbreaking nature. And so its really no surprise that many companies have adopted bitcoin. Bitcoin has now surpassed Western Union in total transaction volume and looks set to pass Paypal this year.
