There has been a lot of talk about Bitcoin in the Swedish blogosphere, much due to Rick Falkvinge (founder of the Swedish Pirate Party) proclaiming that he has invested all his savings in bitcoins. (At least that's how I found out about it.) See this link (in English): http://falkvinge.net/2011/05/29/why-im-putting-all-my-savings-into-bitcoin/
he is swedish, but he mostly(only) writes in english, and is a representant for the pirate party in EU. he is known all around EU, it might be why.
