Does anyone here use Bitcoins?

This is funny... but way too esoteric for the silly humour thread:

You have to watch it to the end though.

PayPal to accept Bitcoin:

EBay’s PayPal Unit to Start Accepting Bitcoin Payments
EBay Inc. (EBAY)’s PayPal service will start accepting bitcoins, opening up the world’s second-biggest Internet payment network to virtual currency transactions.
“We’re announcing PayPal’s first foray into bitcoin,” Bill Ready, the chief of EBay’s Braintree unit, said at Techcrunch’s Disrupt SF conference yesterday. “Over the coming months we’ll allow our merchants to accept bitcoin. On the consumer side it will be a sleek experience.”
EBay, as the world’s biggest Web marketplace and operator of a global payments service, is the most significant business to date that’s embraced bitcoin. The move could potentially enable PayPal’s 152 million registered accounts to transact using the virtual currency, spurring wider use and acceptance of bitcoin, according to Gil Luria, an analyst at Wedbush Securities Inc.
“PayPal integrating bitcoin into Braintree is a very substantial development,” Luria said. “Not only will it make it possible for some of the fastest-growing apps to integrate bitcoin seamlessly, it opens the door for PayPal to integrate bitcoin into its main wallet functionality. If that happens millions of retailers will de facto be accepting bitcoin overnight.”

Naughty Bits - Sexy Bitcoin "News" Show :)
Hello everyone! I just posted the first episode of my new bitcoin "news" show where I talk about things that I think are sexy in the world of bitcoin! :)
The show isn't really intended to be informative or educational, just fun! Hopefully the show will get people excited about bitcoin! ;)
So I did 2 versions of the show, an uncensored version for my Pornhub channel, and a comically-censored version for YouTube! Both are pretty NSFW:

Here are the things that I thought were sexy in this episode:

The show is free and always will be, but donations are always appreciated! :)

This is a pretty epic and funny "fun fact":
Does anyone here use Bitcoins?

This may be of interest to Bitcoiners. It's called BitKey. It's by the folks that brought us Turnkey GNU/Linux. It's a bootable Linux distro running from a USB key that allows you to perform highly secure "air-gapped" Bitcoin transactions.
No opinion since I don't trade in Bitcoinage nor do I have the expertise to comment on the effectiveness of the build. That said, I have found Turnkey GNU/Linux targeted solutions worked very well for me in the past.
Worth a look at any rate. 8)
