One fun Google trick is the ability to type in “5 Euro in USD” and get an acceptably accurate currency conversion in a few seconds. Now, however, you can get your BTC on by simply typing “price of bitcoin” or “X bitcoin to euro.” The feature rolled out yesterday as a reaction to Bing’s addition of BTC pricing in that search engine.
Google partnered with Coinbase to support BTC conversions, according to bitcoin news site Coindesk.
The ability to use BTC in queries follows Google Finance’s addition of a special bitcoin page on the site last June.
It’s one small step for Google, one giant leap for the obsessives who track every single apparent change in bitcoin adoption.
