“I’ve actually been very surprised at how many people have done it,” Christian Rudder, OkCupid’s co-founder and general manager, told FishbowlNY in a phone interview.
And don’t think the new payment rollout is a reaction to all the recent attention and investment — including by the Facebook failure Winklevii twins — on the alternative currency.
