The NY Times carried an article that describes Bitcoin and delves into the topics of the past month. Noam Cohen’s article reads:
“‘I have sold 24 collars, 13 leashes and 1 pair of ‘Disco Knickers’ with Bitcoin over the last few months’ – [Hungarian designer Judit Whelan of The Critter Casual]”
“[Bitcoin technical lead Gavin Andresen] said he imagined that after the bubbles, the currency would find enthusiasts, beyond the traders: ‘Anything that is purely in the electronic world,’ he said. ‘Digital downloads, Web hosting, programming services — especially if it is international — those would be the early niches’.
