"Widespread Adoption" About $2 million a day (USD) is already being transacted in bitcoin. It's quickly becoming an international currency of the world.

Er... bit of a stretch




Exactly what I thought. I wonder how much money is transacted in WoW, Second Life and other large mmorpgs.


WoW gold is a multi bullion dollar economy with daily transactions worth around around 10-100 times what BitCoin is currently doing depending on how and what you count.


This is a good point, I think we'll change it to "It's quickly becoming an international currency." Thanks for the feedback :)


ahem. There is already a large international currency that is way bigger than bitcoin (and maybe bigger than USD). Euro. (Though then we get into semantic arguments about "international")
