That's a big player. I have become very dissatisfied with netflix as of late. Maybe I'll give dish a second look.

Title: Re: Dish network will accept Bitcoin in 3rd quarter of this year Post by: smoothie on May 29, 2014, 08:48:09 PM which month is 3th quarter ? June, July, or August. Expect a bubble in price somewhere in there. My guess is end of July will be the "peak". :D Title: Re: Dish network will accept Bitcoin in 3rd quarter of this year Post by: Gimmelfarb on May 29, 2014, 09:14:25 PM pretty sweet. i wish i could pay for my cable/internet with bitcoin. unfortunately, i don't think it's worth switching to satellite to take advantage. but good news, for sure. 8)

Yeah, most public companies are not going to hold bitcoins at this point in time. I'm shocked that Overstock holds 10% of the coins from its bitcoin sales, but Patrick Byrne truly understands it, and apparently he's convinced his board of directors as well!

When bitcoin surges again and overstock gets the enormous gains for holding 10% in bitcoin, I'm sure the word starts to spread.

You'd think that after the 2011 and 2013 bubbles, and the fact that BTC is still near $600 apiece, this would already be the case. But, here we are. ;D Title: Re: Dish network will accept Bitcoin in 3rd quarter of this year Post by: HarmonLi on May 30, 2014, 07:48:54 AM Title: Re: Dish network will accept Bitcoin in 3rd quarter of this year Post by: DolanDuck on May 30, 2014, 07:55:59 AM With Overstock and Dish network adoptions, bitcoin will grew more and more in popularity.
I think 2015 will be remembered as the year of the cryptocurrencies, all in all we are still early adopters, just hold and let's see how far btc and alts will go.

But, here we are. ;D I think we're dangerously close to the time when everyone starts thinking "What if Bitcoin will continue its pattern of conquering new highs periodically?" as there are now 3 solid examples. Then, people will buy in even at high prices thinking that it will probably go even higher. I'm somewhat scared by this scenario, because it sure would disrupt the stability of the whole world. If fat, rich and lazy suddenly get poor, they get angry. In any case, there will be losers and the wrath of those losers may damage my well being.

Hopefully this will fly in the face of all the FUDers who sold their bitcoin at the 400-level.
