"Dell is now the world's largest ecommerce business to accept #bitcoin"

[abacus]

Bitcoin is active in dell.com checked today

This might be available only in the US

It seems it's the current standard: also buying from Overstock with BTC is limited to US only.

The hope is that they would sell worldwide at a later time.

Still waiting for Amazon to join in.

What about Ebay and Paypal?

Paypal accepting Bitcoin? That would be ironic. I imagine it being more accepted on there, as in the terms, but not a wallet.

Well some big guy back at eBay said that he actually bought some BTC and confirmed that eBay has to integrate cryptocurrencies into PayPal at some point. The market did a small run that day. They're well aware of bitcoin and observing it, I guess. Better join it or be left behind. (If they can't destroy it )

[harlenadler]

Have they released any numbers, like how Overstock did?

[zimmah]

Big news. How much longer can the price continue to ignore these developments?

I wonder that too, how can Dell and Newegg accept bitcoin, and the price does not budge?

What the hell?

This can be the calm before the tempest, I think with all those positive news the price is about to rally soon.
If you take a look at gbianchi charts you can see we are really low considering the average btc increasing value during those years.

These are the doldrums. Same thing happened last year.

The good news was relentless, but the price didn't move. And then it did.

Only the dumbest og the dumb buy on good news. Most of the crowd buys in the collective bullish euphoria.

Some people try to fish for the bottom. And good news might trigger a price increase. That's also what day-traders try to do. They use every minor news and market movement to justify their trades. And since they all do the same TA, they buy at the same time and thus create a rising price. It's a risky business, though.

Yep! http://en.community.dell.com/dell-blogs/direct2dell/b/direct2dell/archive/2014/07/18/we-re-now-accepting-bitcoin-on-dell-com.aspx

soon other will follow.

I am interested about what do you think : when Apple will accept BTC in their Apple's Stores ?

Perhaps never ... but seems like not easy to predict.

The price needed a correction and some stability before going up higher because there are still a lot of BTC that arrive on markets from miners; inflation, economical instability, qualities of Bitcoin and mining reward halves will push the price to thousands of dollars in 2015 or 2016

They could accept it in 2015 but Amazon, Paypal ect. will probably accept it before

I would prefer google & intel to start accept bitcoin

More than bigger merchants getting in  I would like that buyers start adopting it over other mode of payments. Don't know if intel's adoption will create in boom in short term , but surely if Google gets in that's gonna be huge

Both Google and Intel really do not sell anything directly to consumers. Most of what they sell are things that are B2B transactions. I think this kind of bitcoin related commerce is a long ways away (at least a year), however when this type of commerce does start to happen the demand for bicoin will likely increase a lot and so will the price.

it would be good to move on towards B2B. that way, when dell or any other retailer sells anything, it doesn't need to use coinbase or any 3rd party after making a sale; instead it can just send the bitcoins directly to google, and if googles chooses, they can cash it out.

Google could accept bitcoins for ad-sense, for example. I think there are others services directly for customers.


And I can't find the bitcoin option from my local store, I guess only Dell-USA accepts Bitcoin.

[Chicowash]

That would be great if another big guys would start to accept BTC, there should be a jump in the price already, i guess that this is the calm period of the year, that is why BTC price is not moving alot.

I think retailers like Dell and Dish and Newegg (Dell is obviously bigger) accepting BTC is already sort of priced in. This sort of thing is already expected IMO. And we're a long ways off from giants like Amazon accepting it, I think, since Bitpay, etc wouldn't be able to handle the volume.

Still waiting for Amazon to join in.

But there were some talks about Paypal accepting BTC. You can goggle it out. At high level, just no exact date.

There was news in which Ebay CEO said about integrating digital currencies with Paypal but no concrete step has been taken as of now.
