that's pretty neat....clearly a path to a universal world currency, but a LONG way to go. You figure international currency reserves are roughly, what, around $600 trillion? If so, they are approaching a .002% share. Moreover, their stock in trade is in turbulant economies which could cut both ways......

Oh Boy!!!! The Euro times 10 :lol:

Soon, you'll be able to rob the bank with a keyboard.
I can see it now... :shock:

The FBI is in a high speed "cyber pursuit" of a little fat ten year old boy,
who is wanted for interstate theft of "bitcoins". The little miscreant is expected to
be taken into custody later this day. More at five. 8-)

Like the dollar (or the euro for that matter) isn't virtual enough already.
