At WordPress.com, our mission is making publishing democratic -- accessible and easy for anyone, anywhere. And while anyone can start a free blog here, not everyone can access upgrades (like going ad-free or enabling custom design) because of limits on traditional payment networks.
Today, that changes: you can now buy WordPress.com upgrades with bitcoins.
PayPal alone blocks access from over 60 countries, and many credit card companies have similar restrictions.
WP.com now accepts Bitcoin! This is pretty rad, actually.
The more adopters, the better. Glad to see Bitcoins really starting to pick-up wind.
