I've never once purchased a Bitcoin and it will probably be quite a while before I consider ever purchasing Bitcoins, but it seems to me the Bitcoin craze has settled down and it's value has somewhat stabilized (for now) making this sort of thing "possible", though I'm still surprised it's even happening. This I believe will be a fad that will be phased out once people start requesting their wages paid in euros, pounds, or other forms of legitimate worldwide currency, using this as precedent. I don't particularly agree with the offering, but it's neat to read about at least.
