the headline is sensationalistic and may not even be true.

discussions of the topic have indicated that this was just the advisement of central bankers and not a law that was passed. I'm not denying the claim, but I am hesitant to believe it without further details. there's a pretty long Reddit thread and bitcointalk.org thread on it if you're interested.


oh, and I thought you Louisiana folks might enjoy this:

And, of couse, your vast experience working with central banks makes you knowledgeable about what powers the senior members of the Foreign Exchange Administration and Policy Department of the Central Bank of Thailand have when it comes to decreeing what is and is not a legal currency within Thailand.

Which is stronger: Wiki's love of bitcoin or his hatred of New Orleans?

Did David make that sign? It looks like he spent many bitcoins on its design and graphics.

If you're using bitcoins at a shop in NOLA, doesn't it cease to be an anonymous transaction?
