Overstock again 

Ha, yeh, everytime I hear something about this guy it's always good news for bitcoin. He seems like such a renegade.

Judd Bagley, a rep for Overstock, says the company is trying to figure out how to offer bitcoin bonuses by the end of the year. If an employee opts for such a bonus, they'll get a premium over what they'd get if they take cash instead, he said.

That's really great. They really seem to be pushing it out there which is great for promotion of bitcoin. I think if there's any bitcoin awards for Merchant or Business Person of the Year it should go to the Overstock CEO for sure.

I support Overstock 100%. Even if some products can be bought cheaper on other site  ***cough amazon cough*** i will still buy on Overstock.

Yep they really into BTC 100%

Imagine they receive their bonus, when the BTC price is $500 and then they keep it in BTC until Dec for a holiday, and then the price doubles to $1000. Would be the best holiday they would have for years, because they would have double the budget, they originally saved for. 

The opposite is also true.... They might not have enough to go on holiday.

Let's hope that Dell will follow this example as well

Amazon have pissed me off, this was awhile ago but as you guys will already know they've recently been doing this 'add-on' item thing where they force you to buy cheap products with a more expensive item and it's being spammed to the point where you may find one single item you're looking for and it won't necessarily be the one you want when other stores just let you buy things normally.
