Post by: CEG5952 on July 11, 2014, 05:39:35 AM Awesome, their CEO is clearly a crazy bitcoin bull. I'll take it. Too bad I'm not a huge fan of their site, but one of these days I'll find a reason to spend some coin on there...

Post by: counter on July 16, 2014, 02:10:07 AM Yeah this just seems a way to push the banks to accepting it because the large companies see know reason not to accept it and conduct their business. I'm not sure how much revenue Bitcoin will bring Overstock right now but as time progresses I'd suspect there to be some serious growth in adoption of customers using BTC.

What would be wrong with that? But why do you think so, I just can't seem to see any causality or even correlation with that? Title: Re: Just saw an overstock.com commercial on TV... Post by: Baitty on July 17, 2014, 12:26:36 AM Overstock has been accepting Bitcoin for awhile now. But I haven't seen the commercial yet .

I've never seen a Overstock commercial before. I'm guessing they just hate some parts of countries? I've also never ordered from them, but knew they accepted Bitcoin and have checked out their site. Really nothing I could use right now, but I might buy something in the future. Title: Re: Just saw an overstock.com commercial on TV... Post by: 2dogs on July 17, 2014, 07:36:10 AM Patrick Byrne, Overstock CEO was the Keynote speaker at the Bitcoin 2014 Conference in Amsterdam in May earlier this year.
If you haven't heard his keynote address - he will blow you away with his historical and philosophical background: Part I: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrTpZCTpqfs Part II: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qcs2681mUSA He is more than a bitcoin pioneer and supporter - he is walking the walk against corruption - the guy is for real. |
