This is a big development. Dish has a market that is concentrated. Expedia is used world wide.
And yet we're going down because , (no its not a joke) China has banned bitcoin for the 6th time. Or it is the 7 already?

This is really incredible news. Look forward to booking a holiday with bitcoins.
I have already posted about this. Expedia is not the largest company, in terms of Market Capitalization to accept Bitcoin payments. They are the second biggest. The biggest company to accept such payments is DISH.
Expedia - http://www.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ%3AEXPE&ei=RKGZU7rgO8aXkgWgz4HgBw
DISH - http://www.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ%3ADISH&ei=UqGZU6iEFoWUkgX7r4HgAw
Dish might have a bigger revenue or whatever, but I'd never heard of them until the accepted bitcoin. Expedia are pretty well advertised in this country at least and are quite popular.
They have a market cap of over $9.5Bil in 2013 making it the largest company to accept Bitcoin to date. Though suspect Ebay/Paypal will follow shortly.

Right you are brother
Dish are larger by market cap, sorry! Hopefully incorporation of both will assist in wider BTC acceptance June 12, 2014, 03:32:15 PM

What do you guys think about this? Do you think it will affect the BTC price?
I personally believe this is even better than when Overstock started to take BTC.

nothing important
And the troll has re emerged...
He went into hibernation last jump.
Bitcoin will be back to 650 in a few days so back to your cave.

Just booked a hotel, works flawlessly and much faster than using a creditcard. They use coinbase as backend.
Sweet - looks like it hasn't been fully integrated onto their other domains just yet (eg. Expedia.co.uk etc)
But it's on their main site Expedia.com
Enjoy your holiday LeMiner! Will make my hotel bookings via Expedia too.
They have a market cap of over $9.5Bil in 2013 making it the largest company to accept Bitcoin to date. Though suspect Ebay/Paypal will follow shortly.
2014/2015 in retrospect, will be seen as great merchant growth/acceptance for Bitcoin adoption.
Thanks! It was a hotel I had to book anyway for a trip that was already planned. So why not pay in bitcoins?
. I used the main site (expedia.com) with prices listed in dollars even tough I would normally use euros. I calculate bitcoins worth using the dollar course anyway. Coinbase did not wait for a confirmation (probably because it wasn't too expensive). I even got 2 dollars discount as I paid just when the course dropped a bit.
Good man - cheers for the input, always great to hear from someone who has used their new implementation. Looks like their developers have done a smooth job!
Reading through their T/C's, would recommend you to open a Coinbase account in the unlikely event of a refund request.
With the index price drop today, i think you got a slight discount too?

Yes, but who knows DISH outside the USA? Nobody.
Expedia has a lot of customers in many countries, and that's the big point.

Have to concede it there. Dish is relatively unknown outside the United States (even there they are getting squeezed out by Direc TV). Expedia, on the other hand is active all over the world.

Now we can all go for this well deserved holiday... finally
June 12, 2014, 09:54:21 AM
Every time one of these major sites accepts Bitcoin it is a big win. More and more it is becoming normal. Then people won't think of it as fake money when we are buying jewerly, hotels, plane tickets, meals, and computers with it.
Hmm.... no one is labeling it as fake money. The anti-Bitcoin lobbyists are using its association with drug-dealer sites such as SR 2.0 to tarnish its reputation among the general public. Those marketplaces will always be there.

The more rollover of bitcoins through business the better I feel, It makes it less of a investment to the common person "pretty sure they think of it 1 of 2 ways, its like gold or wow gold" when people can use BTC in every day life, the more friendly it becomes.
Exactly...hoarding shouldnt be main goal..."using" should be!
