Here are Today’s MadBits:
Breaking News from Twitter this morning.
Tim Draper claims to be funding Core Developers according to a question by Jesper Borkman.
We’d love to learn more about Tim Draper’s plan to rival the Bitcoin Foundation and actually employ some core developers soon. Maybe they could start a startup about Core Developers in Boost VC and just pay them to develop things, right?

Taylor Swift video called Kubrickian by Wikipedia
and they’re not far off.....
She can make the bad guys good for a weekend
Instead of Fighting Bitcoin, the US Could Make Its Own Digital Currency
http://www.wired.com/2014/12/t-coin/
If you can’t beat em -- join em. It’s a clever idea, but they’ll never do it. They’re too old and too stuck in their ways. They just can’t pivot, even though most of their money is already electronic, they don’t want to tell the people that. The fed just prints electronic money and calls it quantatative easing -- shhhh. don’t tell anybody.
Breaking news -- the Cato Industry has a pair of crystal balls or they’ve developed time travel, because suddenly they have the power to tell facebook from myspace or TCP/IP from Bitcoin. Wait, some of those things are the same thing.
CATO INSTITUTE – BITCOIN WILL BE DISPLACED BY CRYPTOCURRENCIES WITH SUPERIOR FEATURES
https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/cato-...
Yeah. right. And then Bitcoin will absorb their features and use a superior network effect to crush them. Nice theory though. Anyway you look at it, crypto currencies are the future.
Speaking of the future, another player from the past:
Microsoft Begins Accepting Bitcoin For Windows, Windows Phone And Xbox Purchases
http://techcrunch.com/2014/12/10/redm...
As Tech Crunch says with their clever URL -- Redmond hath frozen over. As Bryan Sovryn said on The Bitcoin Group -- Microsoft is starting to pivot and act like a lean startup. This is very unusual and very unmicrosoft. They recently bought Minecraft and now they take Bitcoin too. Microsoft takes Bitcoin.
I wonder if they hold it.
By the way -- BitPay reports that
MORE THAN 4400 BITPAY MERCHANTS KEEP ALL THEIR BITCOINS
https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/more-...
That’s about 10% of BitPay’s total merchants.
meanwhile... another Bitcoin accepting merchant,
NEWEGG THINKS “BITCOIN IS GOING MAINSTREAM IN 2015″
https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/neweg...
Mainstream Bitcoin? You mean the thing that Microsoft, New Egg, Overstock.com and Tiger Direct all accept directly? We can get more mainstream than that? Maybe we can get Taylor Swift on board.
She’s a nightmare dressed like a daydream
Meanwhile
Bitcoin Prices are up about half a point with WinkDex reporting a last of $348, a high of $354 and a low of $344.
