Bitcoin continues its march into the mainstream with yet another big name thinking the crypto-currency is worth its attention. This time, however, it's not a retailer agreeing to accept Bitcoin, but Google integrating Bitcoin into its instant answers.
If you want to find out how much 20 bucks will currently get you in Bitcoin, just type in "20 USD in BTC" (or speak it using Google Now) to get the answer. Google's currency exchange feature allows you to mix and match any currencies you want. If you've got an Italian vacation coming up and want to know how many Euros a Bitcoin will get you, Google can help.
Bing actually beat Google to the punch on this one and has supported Bitcoin exchange rates for some time. But with Google owning close to 70 percent of the U.S. search market, Google's acceptance puts Bitcoin exchange rates in front of a much larger audience.
