Yep, this will certainly hurt Bitpay a smudge, but I'm guessing it'll ultimately help more than hurt.
Competition is good, and isn't that a motto of Bitcoiners?
Is it me or has the market been pretty calm after this announcement. What do you guys think?
I wonder if thats it!

I think there's a fair bit of growth built into the market if you're talking about the price of bitcoin...
So I wouldn't expect a pop after this. We'll see if there's a sell off, but I'd assume the market has been expecting this for a while.
I think the next mark will be when Overtsock releases how much it has improved their bottom line, perhaps on their earnings call.

I have nothing against this, none what so ever...just.. doesn't Al Gore have an issue about Co2 and ye ol' climate? lol.
I am actually excited about this. I would think other retailers will wait and see how Overstock does. How will Overstock convert it into fiat though? I thought exchanges needed to be regulated and there weren't any in US?
Correct me if I am wrong here but they partnered with Coinbase.com I assume that's how.
Cheers

No Bitcoin option in the UK...

Ok, so I searched for anything I could actually buy there and when I finally found something I would be willing to buy, there was no option to pay in bitcoin.
Bitcoin Payment option is US only
(at least that's the issue for me)https://twitter.com/Overstock/status/421388627462324224

Now it's time to ask for Shipito.com for the Bitcoin acception!
