Thanks Mageant! As the product manager for the OANDA currency converter, I'm excited that we've added Bitcoin to our currency converter. You can read more about our announcement on our blog: http://www.oanda.com/corp/forex-lab-notes/2013/apr/22/why-we-added-bitcoin-oanda-currency-converter-1920/.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments! I'm looking forward to feedback from the community.

Chris

Despite the increased awareness around the cyber currency, OANDA has no plans at this time to introduce Bitcoin as a tradeable currency to OANDAs fxTrade platform, or to accept Bitcoin as a method for funding fxTrade accounts. By adding Bitcoin to our Currency Converter, we are acknowledging in a very real way the wide-ranging interest Bitcoin has generated as a virtual payment system.

Some people get in the swimming pool one careful, shuddering toe at a time.

Some people just jump the hell in.

Failure is always an option, but...

...which of those two types of people make the great fortunes of this world - and which become 'comfortable'?

Eh. You pays yer money and you takes yer shot...
