I made 30-40 BitPay transactions via Gyft.com today. I spent a few BTC loading up on gift cards and then spent some of those on Amazon. I spent more dough for this holiday season than any other in my life, all in Bitcoin, all today. Thanks to Coinbase + Gyft/BitPay + Amazon.

Revans' ignore tag is glowing for a reason.  He is not telling the truth.

Last year BitPay did 99 transactions on Bitcoin Day.  You can confirm this by reading the quote from Tony Gallippi here:

http://codinginmysleep.com/bitcoin-friday-results/


I expect BitPay's total transaction numbers for today to be significantly higher.  The price of bitcoin has gone up by roughly a factor of 100 since Bitcoin Day last year.  I wonder if BitPay's transactions will be greater or less than 100 x 99  = 9900 (99 being what they did last year)?

Seems they have refused to even consider releasing the numbers for Bitcoin transactions via BitPay for black friday. I think it is safe to assume the reason is the figures are bad, as if it was otherwise they'd be desperate to crow about them.

Where do you see that they have refused to even consider releasing the numbers for bitcoin transactions via BitPay for black friday? Also, Black Friday is not even half-over is some places...it's only 2:00pm on the west coast and we're complaining that bitpay hasn't released black friday numbers?

It has been ruled out though, be in tomorrow, next week or next year.

Show me the statement from bitpay that it has been ruled out. 

It's in the comments section on reddit


Bitpay hasn't posted anything to reddit in the last day and the post on reddit was made 2 hours ago.  Can you please link to the statement you are referring to?  You can link to individual comments on reddit if you need to.

For most of the rest of the world black friday is our hunger games where we watch desperate poor people fight each other for baubles.

Man speaks the truth.

Of course they suck. For the last 30 days or so, BTC has mostly been hoarded. And it'll continue to be hoarded until new money is convinced they'll be buying the top and hold off.


It is disappointing that they will not clarify just how awful they were though, but then I suppose they have investors to consider.

How can they release the numbers when Black Friday is still in progress in much of the world?  

I'm doing my Christmas shopping as we speak and have made 9 BitPay purchases already.  Last year there were 99 BitPay purchases during the 24 hr Bitcoin Day period in *total*.  It will be interesting to see how much we have grown by.
