This is great news! Earlier they were accepting Bitcoin payments only from users in the United States. A lot of international users were complaining to the Overstock authorities about this. Anyway, now I am glad that I can pay for my goods in Overstock using BTC. A big thanks once again to the Overstock CEO and Bitcoin crusader, Patrick Byrne.

Early this morning, the Salt Lake City-based company started accepting bitcoin payments in all foreign countries. Anyone anywhere can now use the digital currency to purchase anything offered by Overstock, from phone accessories to lawn furniture—though there are certain countries where the company doesn’t ship purchases. “As long as you can get on the internet, you can order and pay in bitcoin,” says Overstock founder and CEO Patrick Byrne. “You can order in North Korea if you want—as long as you’re having things delivered to, say, Singapore.”
