WordPress To Accept Bitcoins

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."

which 6% are you talking about ? you do realize that bitcoin is mostly used by criminals for illegal transactions and by people who want to avoid income tax, don't you? And that it also is the heaven for money laundering.

It's not really a "currency", instead it's a pyramid scam deliberately structured so the early adopters can sit back and do nothing while others grow the pyramid for them.

so by default whatever the governments say is propaganda and whatever the "revolutionaries" say is true. Sure, you want to remain anonymous, use cash. Would you use money printed by me instead of officially printed money (government) ? Do you know who benefits the most from anonymous money ? yeap you guessed right, the criminals, not normal citizens who fear that the government cares if they buy a 5'' dildo from a sex shop

Interesting that there aren't the normal number of postings for a bitcoin story. Presumably all the early adopters in this Ponzi scheme have now cashed in and the suckers left trying to buy drugs from the FBI with their worthless digital "currency" are too embarrassed to admit it.
