Title: Will Further Bitcoin Adoption Lead To Further Price Declines? Post by: bitcoinval on February 20, 2014, 01:47:13 PM Seems that when companies like Overstock "accept" Bitcoin they are actually selling Bitcoin as they don't hold them and immediately convert to fiat.

Post by: NeonRonin on February 20, 2014, 02:28:26 PM The article does not take into account other activities that have taken place the last few weeks such as Mt.Gox stopping all withdrawals that triggered a panic nor does it take into account governments like Russia stating that Russian companies should not use or accept virtual currencies. There's been a LOT of negative press lately, and it is a very dynamic environment with a lot of variables. Just attributing a lack of increase in value because Overstock started accepting bitcoin is like saying the ruble is going to increase because Overstock starts accepting it. It doesn't (and shouldn't) happen.
