Dell's accepting? MAJOR victory for cryptos right here!
It actually makes me very happy to see Dell accepting Bitcoin, and it shows how easy it is for big companies to start accepting it. Now if only more and more companies could start following in it's wake...

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

This is unreal! Dell is the world's 5th largest computer manufacturer and they are now taking bitcoin! This is totally unexpected. eBay/PayPal should learn from them, don't talk about it, just do it!  |

To be completely honest, Bitcoin getting accepted by more and more companies would not increase the price, if anything the price would decrease more since those companies immediately sell any bitcoins they acquire from users buying their products...
They would be able to sell bitcoins because those bitcoins would have been previously bought by Dell's customers. So no downwards pressure. |

I dont get it. Why is btc price dropping again? . I thought this would be great news + they were offering a 10% discount if you pay with bitcoin which would in theory get people who were in the process of buying from Dell anyway buy BTC first and pay that way ??

If they didn't sell the bag on the markets, why would they use it to buy hardware? |

But then again, why would someone buy BTC just to buy products online that they could of bought more easily with Fiat? Well, they wouldn't buy it unless they had a reason, which might just very well be that they want an "anonymous" transaction. (Yes I know BTC is pseudoanonymous) There also is the 10% discount, so the discount probably outweighs the fees require to buy BTC. You can save up to $150, and I doubt BTC buying fees would be that high, so it does have it's advantages. |

I'm On the same page I was expecting it to go around 650 tonight , But I'll wait for few more hours before making any opinion about it, because its weekend and we might see a price rise on Monday morning or maybe earlier. In recent times adoptions from big companies hasn't made any huge Impact on price , whether we talk about Expedia , newegg or others, but they can't ignore it for longer. Can they its all building up? |

Lol Apple might be really slow getting to it, if they are they'll blame it on anything they can. Although, if Apple starts accepting it, chances are Sony/Samsung/Google will have to start accepting it to compete with Apple, or lose a part of their market, and then other places will have to start accepting Bitcoin to compete, etc. So we are seeing the slow rise of Bitcoin being accepted in LOTS of places. Makes me quite happy  |

apple likes playing and negotiating on their own terms.. which is why i think they might not accept bitcoin until or unless it's absolutely necessary - it's because they can't control it.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the first Fortune 100 company to accept transactions in bitcoin isn't it? Next stop, top 50! Anyone thinks this has any impact on possible retail acceptance?
By the way, can someone clarify if we're able to buy stuff from Dell's subsidiaries in BTC?

How many of you still use Dell Computers? I have them for my company, but I stopped using Dell computers a long time ago. They were always pretty reliable, but never to aesthetically pleasing (I know that shouldn't matter all that much in a laptop selection).
In terms of Ultra Books at least, I feel like Acer and Asus (for PC) have far surpassed them, but Dell still has the big-time name recognition that will help with bringing BTC to the mainstream.
Maybe Apple will follow suit? haha jk

I think that apple will try to get bitpay or coinbase to lower their price for processing bitcon payments for them before they will start accepting bitcoin |
