New article about Bitcoins on Reuters

It looks at Bitcoins more positively than I believe they deserve, but it concludes by saying that Bitcoins will be looked at "as a currency" if they come into wide usage, which will ultimately be their downfall if they ever break through and become more popular.

Personally I think Bitcoins will never become a big deal because they are too complicated for the average internet user.

There's also no way the US government will allow drugs and guns to be traded on Silk Road without taking action against the whole situation at some point.
