'Currently About 20 Percent Of Our Payments Are Made In Bitcoins'

Well, anyone says that, we would all be curious - who is it, and why is it so? We spotted this stat from a HackerNews comment thread: here - this is from the founder of Nameterrific, the 'domain registrar for geeks'

Why did we find this a surprising stat? Because domain name registration, even though the target is a geek crowd, is not some place where you would expect to see a number as high as 20 percent. We had spotted elsewhere, that all the VC money that has gone into Bitcoins should show up somewhere. Now we have a Bitcoin bank. Then we see stats like this. Something is happening in the Bitcoin world. Stay tuned.
