Not really sure what this signifies in terms of Bitcoin going main stream. But interesting none the less.

The Sacramento Kings have become the first professional sports franchise to accept the virtual currency Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer payment system introduced in 2009.

Bitcoin is most frequently used by speculators at this point due to the uncertainty of its future as a usable form of currency.

The Kings are run by software developer Vivek Ranadive.

I don't pay attention to sports at all, but even I knew they were desperate. A few months back, the team president hosted a mixer for residents of my apartment complex in a sad attempt to sell some kind of memberships, Tupperware party-style.

That sounds pretty desperate haha.. They have been so bad for so many years. I used to go to the games back when I was in high school with my dad. I would be interested to see how many tickets they sell with bitcoins.
 
living 10 minutes away from sacramento, its a poo poo city. its too hot, dry, too many white people, and old people run the place. plus, the sac kings are a poo poo team.

because of the sac kings associating itself with bitcoin, we can logically infer that bitcoin is poo poo.

come at me lukep
 
If the best you've got is that you live 10 minutes from Sacramento, then your arguments are invalid. Bay area and SoCal are California, I have no idea why the capitol is in Sacramento or why anyone would live anywhere near there.
 
Apologies if you live near there. They do have some nice rice fields(maybe) North of Sacramento. I don't know if they are rice fields, they just look like they might be.
Other than that, great place to drive through.
Please don't tell me you want to revisit the B-coin/dead horse thing.

Wait, what?? There are a lot of really good reasons to hate Sacramento, but I don't see how "too many white people" is one of them. According to Wikipedia, Sacramento is only 45% white. Compare that to St. Louis at 43.9%, San Francisco at 48.1%, NYC at 44%, and Los Angeles at 49.8%.

Maybe things are different out in the suburbs.
 
I don't think I have ever gone anywhere and thought "there are too many white people here".

Except maybe that time I had to stop at a downtown St. Louis gas station at 3am driving back to the east coast from Colorado.
