WordPress To Accept Bitcoins

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the what-about-gold? dept.

angry tapir writes "WordPress has said it will accept payment in bitcoins, opening up the blogging platform to payments from users in countries not supported by PayPal or credit card companies. WordPress is free, open-source software, but the company Automattic offers paid-for features such as blog designs, custom domains, hosting partnerships and anti-spam measures."

    The US dollar cannot succeed due to the violently idiotic community that has built itself around it.

    From common con artists (Goldman Sachs, Enron) to large scale scale money laundering (Bank of America) the community is full of petty criminals.

    Accepting USD is a mistake.

    The people paying in dollars are all fucking crooks.
