Bitcoin Buzz Draws Western Union, MoneyGram
"Western Union Co. (WU) and MoneyGram International Inc. (MGI) are studying ways their customers could use their services to send and receive money transfers denominated in bitcoins, the companies' executives say."
[...]
"If bitcoin continues to grow and the value is defined more internationally, we may find an opportunity for bitcoin to be used to pay for commerce transactions through a Western Union business solution," David Thompson, an executive vice president and chief information officer of Western Union, said in an interview this week."

Außerdem hat gestern Wikileaks ein Dokument veröffentlicht, dass eine Diskussion zwischen Julian Assange, Eric Schmidt (Google CEO) und Jared Cohen zeigt. Das Gespräch ist von Mitte Juni 2011.
In einem Abschnitt ging es dabei auch um Bitcoins.
Das hat Assange zB gesagt:
"And very important, actually. It has a few problems. But its innovations exceed its problems. Now there has been innovations along these lines in many different paths of digital currencies, anonymous, untraceable etc. People have been experimenting with over the past 20 years. The Bitcoin actually has the balance and incentives right, and that is why it is starting to take off. The different combination of these things. No central nodes. It is all point to point. One does not need to trust any central mint. If we look at traditional currencies such as gold, we can see that they have sort of interesting properties that make them valuable as a medium of exchange. Gold is divisible, it is easy to chop up, actually out of all metals it is the easiest to chop up into fine segments. You can test relatively easily whether it is true or whether it is fake. You can take chopped up segments and you can put them back together by melting the gold. So that is what makes it a good medium of exchange and it is also a good medium of value store, because you can take it and put it in the ground and it is not going to decay like apples or steaks. The problems with traditional digital currencies on the internet is that you have to trust the mint not to print too much of it."
Ist eigentlich sehr interessant, da Assange also schon vor 2 Jahren daran geglaubt hat und damit auch Google schon ganz gut darüber Bescheid wusste.
"Yeah, to enforce scarcity, and scarcity will go up as time goes by, and what does that mean for incentives in going into the Bitcoin system. That means that you should get into the Bitcoin system now. Early. You should be an early adopter. Because your Bitcoins are going to be worth a lot of money one day. So once you have a... and the Bitcoins are just... a Bitcoin address is just a big hash. It's a hash of a public key that you generate. So once you have this hash you can just advertise it to everyone, and people can send you Bitcoins, and there is people who have set up exchanges to convert from Bitcoin to US dollars and so on. And it solves a very interesting technical problem, which is how do you stop double spending?"
Man kann also davon ausgehen, dass zumindest Julian nicht gerade wenige Bitcoins besitzt ;D
