Just listen to the silence. :D Title: Re: [2014-01-09] Overstock.com Is Now Accepting Bitcoins Post by: neilcoleman78 on January 09, 2014, 09:05:08 PM This was much needed.. Now just sit and wait as other merchants follow..
Title: Re: [2014-01-09] Overstock.com Is Now Accepting Bitcoins Post by: quone17 on January 09, 2014, 09:15:32 PM I am actually excited about this. I would think other retailers will wait and see how Overstock does. How will Overstock convert it into fiat though? I thought exchanges needed to be regulated and there weren't any in US?

Correct me if I am wrong here but they partnered with Coinbase.com I assume that's how.

What do you guys think? I wonder if thats it! ??? I think there's a fair bit of growth built into the market if you're talking about the price of bitcoin... So I wouldn't expect a pop after this. We'll see if there's a sell off, but I'd assume the market has been expecting this for a while. I think the next mark will be when Overtsock releases how much it has improved their bottom line, perhaps on their earnings call.

Competition is good, and isn't that a motto of Bitcoiners?
