Also bigger than Twitter.

Bitcoin has maybe 3 million users (maybe). Twitter has 300 million. I'm investing in both, and I wonder how much Bitcoin would be worth at 300 million users. The network effects are going to be fun to watch

Surpassing Western Union's market cap.

I've seen this comparison a lot but I have no idea what the significance is. Why does this matter?

Probably because WU is a money transmission network, so somewhat comparable to what Bitcoin does.

There is question as to whether this is even real, or just Willybotted up. This article is from March, but it hasn't stopped: http://www.bitcoinfuturesguide.com/bitcoin-blog/reminder-chi...

What happens if you try to cash in at these prices? There's no actual demand, so the price flash-crashes: http://qntra.net/2016/06/mere-265-bitcoin-sell-causes-flashc...
