                          the original WSJ commentary has nothing to do with bitcoins...

                          the quote from a Western Union representative was:
                          “If you want to top up a Skype account or add value to an online gaming platform, those are the kinds of partnerships I’m working to develop,” said David Thompson, executive vice president of global operations and CIO at Western Union.

                          and the reporter somehow connected that to bitcoins...

                                      i don't doubt bitcoin with its exchange rate swinging wildly for years to come.
                                      i doubt WU has what it takes or real need to adopt

                                          maybe wu should bite on the lead and go ahead with it, make a big media splash like yahoo did buying that kid entrepreneur for $30 million.
