I don't know much about Bitcoin, but I think the distinction is in how many people are using the service. A big part of that seems to be platform compatibility. These people are able to use it on their cheap Nokia cell phones rather than needing a computer to use Bitcoin. The impression I got from the article was that payments are done via text message, so you may not even need a data plan for it. |

Also, M-Pesa was launched in 2007, Bitcoin in 2009. So the "already" is a bit imprecise, too.
