It will be interesting to see how many merchants go to MIT trying to get them to sell their coins
Might spread from there anyways interesting experiment
Hope for its success

Apparently the MIT bookstore started accepting bitcoin shortly after the project was announced

I guess naive first year students will fall for that trap and use it for a book discount (sort of)
I'm assuming they have a used bookstore and the normal bookstore offers at a premium so if they were going to save some money they would buy used with cash unless they couldn't find it then use BTC at the main store.

Both the community college and university that I went to had only one "real" bookstore that would sell both "new" and "used" books side-by-side. The used prices were really not that much better
