Re: Now that a large online retailer is accepting, bets on who's next?
They are still not officially accepting since it is not available for international payments (e.g. the whole world).
Maybe to you, but to me overstock.com accepts bitcoin. Trying to dispute that fact is just dumb. Overstock.com IS accepting bitcoin.
Coinbase and overstock are both US companies, by the way.
Just seems to me that it is a little misleading and egocentric to claim that overstock now "officially" accepts BTC when they only accept it in the U.S.
weather it is 1 country or many they still accept it somewhere and as they tweeted they are working on accepting it globally.
Then once they do it would be appropriate to open this thread, imagine you clicking on a "Ebay now accepts Bitcoin!" thread in awe, going on eBay.com, selecting a beautiful golden watch only to find out after an hour long wait in support that they only accept BTC in Uganda.
I was pretty pissed since I still want that watch but I don't want to reward them for wasting my time and essentially being no different than Amazon/eBay or anyone else...
Are you for serious? I didn't think it possible one could be this dumb. You've lived overseas for a while now, right? Does this really bring you that much of a shock that a US company doesn't mention the exclusion of foreign countries for bitcoin payments specifically? In what was mostly quick press releases, no less...
