BitPay Announces Bitcoin Black Friday 2014 ResultsBitPay’s Tony Sakich announced Bitcoin Black Friday (BBF) 2014 results at the company’s blog:
“This year we saw an 82% increase in the number of merchants who completed transactions compared to last year’s BBF. While last year many of the discounts and deals were for bitcoin related technology, like bitcoin mining equipment, this year a broader range of retailers were offering bitcoin-specific deals on a wider array of items.http://www.coinspeaker.com/2014/12/10/bitpay-announces-bitcoin-black-friday-2014-results/ Not bad a modest increase in retailers compared to last year hopefully we go over 100% for 2015
Both Gyft and NewEgg experienced their best day of bitcoin sales ever. Gyft had 62% more transactions this BBF than last year, while increasing the value of purchases by 139%. NewEgg set personal records for total dollar value of purchases, as well as number of transactions.
Still not a bad haul ^^.
