Just noticed today that Craiglist.com now has a button you can check that says cryptocurrency ok. It brings up all the stuff listed where the sellers will accept cryptocurrency for. It was interesting to me that the box said cryptocurrency, instead of Bitcoin, or even bitcoin. What also interested me was the number of items that the sellers would accept Bitcoin. Was a lot! I think that sometimes, when we are immersed in our industry, we tend to not recognize how the public perceives this industry, and we sometimes miss, or underestimate the impact cryptocurrency is making. I, for one, continue to be amazed at how much John Q. Public really does know about Bitcoin, in particular. It seems to be catching on quicker that I imagined.

I think more and more people are getting interested in cryptocurrencies every day. I'm starting to have friends and neighbors and even family members asking me questions about it. Selling stuff you no longer need on Craig's List would be a great way to get into Bitcoin. Far better than mortgaging your house.

Judging from all the news and mentions of crypto in all the places we have never seen it before, I would say the industry has or, is very close to reaching critical mass. You can't turn around without seeing an article about bitcoin in the main stream media nor can you be around any of you "none crypto" friends without one or more asking how to get in the markets or, my favorite: "Just what is this bitch coin thing anyway?" Not everyone has style...

The new year should be quite a ride in what I fully see being the 'up" elevator. I really don't think it can be stopped at this point. Throttled, messed with, banned, outlawed or adopted and, of course, taxed but not stopped. Hang on, here we go like it or not! Grin

This is definitely the start of the mainstream media moment we've been talking about for 4 years.

It's too bad there isn't a cryptocurrency fact-checker for media coverage like this:
