if HIB accepted bitcoin, then it would be worth a discussion.
We are talking with them, and they are interested, now. We'll be doing something real soon

(and MtGox will likely handle this for them, thru making this $4096 a quite nice investment indeed)
and to think this whole time all people have to do to get bitcoin accepted by merchants is
bribe them with money generated through bitcoins
makes sense. its the way government and business works.
