Very nice, does anyone know if they'll ever accept anything other than bitcoin? Altcoins like NXT etc?

Why would they bother? The transaction rate (in USD/time) is microscopic in altcoins.

I'm no economist, but isn't it possible to have an illiquid market despite high volume?

That's just volume, not liquidity.

They said in their recent AMA that they have no plans of accepting altcoins.
