It'll be interesting to see if this announcement actually helps increase the price of Bitcoin which has taken a few hits over the last few months due to countless exchanges being hacked and collapsing (one of those being Mt Gox), to the IRS's announcement proclaiming Bitcoin is property not currency and other bumps in the road. Initial indications seem to suggest this far the announcement has done little to raise the price of Bitcoin. Time will tell and I personally think this is a great step in the right direction, eventually even Paypal will allow you to accept Bitcoin, it is only a matter of time.
