“Bitcoin will get you bread in South Korea, thanks to a bakery in Incheon that took the landmark step of allowing customers to pay with the world’s most common virtual currency.  Lee Jong-soo, who runs Paris Baguette, a franchise bakery, said the first transaction involving the virtual money happened early Tuesday morning. As of mid-Tuesday, three more people had purchased bread using Bitcoin.  Mr. Lee said the idea of embracing the virtual currency came during a family dinner with his two grown-up sons a month ago. His younger son, who studied finance in the U.S., brought up the issue and suggested the bakery accept Bitcoin as a payment method.”
