Had a look through the Currencies forum - a quarter of all topics were digital currency related, so I've split them out.
Yes, it is so interesting to see the change and how it is taking hold! It is still only the beginning though, out in the broader community, no one has a clue! I am selling some gear on another forum and have advertised a price in fiat and another price in BTC - i wonder if some will have the curiosity to see what it is about!
Actually at a BBQ on cup day most people had heard of bitcoin (typical Melb professionals), and a few were aware it was currently rocketing, although none were invested.
