Wow - that's hard to believe after all the scandals and scams involving Bitcoin recently.
It says "Bitcoin to pass PayPal in USD transaction volume" ...does that mean the total number of transactions or the value volume? I could see number of transactions possibly because each little chunk off the block chain probably qualifies as a transaction in Bitcoin terms.
Kind of a fucked up comparison because they aren't really related in anyway. Kind of like saying that Paintball has overtaken Hunting which it has.

US to auction seized Silk Road Bitcoins worth $18m
The US government will auction $18m (£11m) worth of the virtual currency Bitcoin, which was seized by the FBI when it shut down the Silk Road online marketplace in October last year.
...
Prospective bidders will have to put forward a deposit of $200,000, and all offers must be made in cash.
The price of Bitcoin, as measured by CoinDesk, fell following news of the sale, but has since made a modest recovery.
The bidding process will begin on 27 June.

For example, using localbitcoins.com to change cash to bitcoins and vice versa, you don't need any kind of bank account at all.

I like for its variety of payment methods and compatibility with paxful I usually buy with etransfer because it's cheaper I buy 300 Canadian and receive about 200 American depending on the vendor.
Look at rating and even how many times they have been blocked because sometimes people are scared to leave negative feedback and just block them instead. vendors will ask for proof of identity
however if you look on backpage there are bitcoin ATMs you use an app and cc for usually they don't take verification but I haven't tried a atm yet ether
You can also try this but I like paxful so I haven't tried yet https://www.bitquick.co/backpager
Now this option obviously isn't for everyone but advertising Skype cam shows, snap chat membership, kik for selling individual photos on American sites is great way not only to make extra money but the payoneer card you will receive your payment on can be used to buy bitcoins! The exchange Rate is awesome when you convert it to Canadian. But always watch what kind of payout you get for advertising there and see if they have options to up your payout options. They usually take about 15 percent but with the exchange rate you won't lose much as long as the American dollar stays low.
if you pm me i can send you links referral links to the sites that I advertise on but it's all private shows that I advertise no stupid free cams begging for tips.

Need to dig a bit deeper into the bitcoin market, which wallets are you recommending?
I have an old coinbase account, no idea if I should keep working with that one.
I also got a suggestion that armory was good for protection and when sitting on bigger balances.
I'm eager to hear what the HUBGFE gurus are suggesting?

[FONT=verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Fresh Bitcoin exchange hacked.
[FONT=verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Bitfinex this time, one of the largest.
Early days but it looks like around 119,000 bitcoin stolen. That is about 70 million dollars.
Crashed the price nearly $200.

Bitcoin beats gold in price for the first time ever
This is the first time that gold price has trailed behind Bitcoin
For the first time ever, the price of one Bitcoin climbed above the price of one ounce of gold on Thursday.
Around 10:20 a.m. ET. The cryptocurrency jumped up to $1,241.30. In the meantime, gold was around $1,241.25 at the time. However, minutes later, Bitcoin fell below the yellow metal, but then bounced back again.
As of 10:41 a.m. ET yesterday, Bitcoin had increased by 1.8% at $1,248.10, while gold was down 0.6% at $1,242.15.
