Patrick Byrne, CEO of Utah-based e-commerce giant Overstock.com, has announced that the company intends to expand its bitcoin payments program to international customers in the next four to six weeks.

To date, the option to pay for purchases in bitcoin has only been available to US customers, in what has become a similar offering for the industry’s major merchants. Dell, for example, only allows US-based customers to pay in bitcoin, while Expedia limits the offering to its US website. Notably, TigerDirect, which uses BitPay for its processing, has expanded its offering to Canada.

Patrick Byrne, is a real Bitcoin pioneer. He is also taking on the stock market with his free hand. 

If there were prizes given out by the Bitcoin Foundation, to the Best entrepreneur in Bitcoins, I would vote for him. He is surely doing a lot for the currency at the moment.

Job well done, and we need more people like him, to push the envelope.

Hats off to this guy. He's a maverick.

It's not suprising that he is known as "the most hated man on wall street", most of the street knows what bitcoin means for them, and they know how much he's doing for it.
