Was just buying on overclockers.co.uk - on the payment option noticed you can now pay in bitcoin.

No mention of this on their website, or on here as far as I can see.

Good news - slowly the adoption is spreading.

The beast is already unleashed and no govt can stop it. Adoption is now a matter of time. We need to keep close eye about the security staff for different services and raise the alarm early if something smells bad. Because, average Joe may not differ much between Mt. Gox & Bitcoin. Those, who have tried to convince bitcoin to non-tech people, knows why I'm saying this...

Aint that the truth! It's annoyingly hard to explain the benefits of using Bitcoin over fiat money to people who have no technical understanding AND have no interest in challenging the status quo.

2 points has worked good for me till date to convince people...

1. From 2009 to 2014 Bitcoin's value has rose from 1 USD to 650 USD. So if u can convert a part of your FIAT savings to bitcoin for long term.

2. Those who are remitting money from Europe/USA to Asia makes around 5%-10% loss due to forex commission. Bitcoin is a preferred medium for them to transmit money.

In the long run, when more merchants will accept Bitcoin, I'll tell them to use it over Credit Card to avoid recurring charge and protect their identity. In simple word, for those who does not understand the technology, give them a reason to shift to it. Show them monetary profit ....and they'll listen to U.
