Quote
First reported by bitcoin website CryptoCoinsNews this past weekend, the Utah-based company’s CEO, Patrick Byrne, announced that the mega retailer has plans to donate approximately three percent of their bitcoin sales revenues to cryptocurrency-related causes. Specifically, with the aim to spur adoption in the sector.

The man may have mistakenly stated that bitcoin core has 'slop' in the code, but he's still out there publicly supporting bitcoin.

Pat is definitely a true believer and I thank him kindly for what he's doing: looking out for his own personal best interests. Sure is nice to have a real deal capitalist of such a large corporation in the mix. Long live Overstock and may their profits be legendary!

He should just give discount for bitcoin orders. That makes more sense and at the same time, helping both btc adoption and bringing more sales.
