Topic: NEWEGG ACCEPTS BITCOIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - page 4. (Read 6857 times)
WOW Newegg just opened up all whole new world.
It would be good if newegg had accepted bitcoin when you were still able to mine come coins with gpus.
It's happening!
I like how NewEgg announces bitcoin acceptance and the price gets a rise, but when Dish and Expedia do the same the price crashes.

I think most of this price bump was set off primarily by the auction yesterday. This is just more good news, adding on to the swell of good news that has been piling up.
Really positive news again, im from The Netherlands and I know the website Newegg.
Even tho they don't even sell here, so that is another good webshop where you can spend your Bitcoins.
I know some people will be very happy with this, I think however they should implement some kind of deal if you buy with Bitcoins.
Like get a discount or a free product if you spend a minimum amount or something.

How I feel today: http://youtu.be/IfSGIPMinW0?t=6m33s
im not familiar with newegg, how big is this? lol bigger than overstock accepting? i take it its electronics? is it global shipping? or atleast to eurpope? i need a laptop 
more than twice as big as overstock, annual revenue of about $3 billion.
Mostly serves american market, i don't think they allow bitcoin transactions outside of USA yet. They ship to the UK.
To all the permabears with their 'more sell pressure' FUD, you know nothing john snows.
for newegg to sell bitcoins, someone has to buy and spend them first, and it's likely they will buy them back as well.
More volume and more utility drives the price UP not DOWN. Retards.
+1

wow, they are really excited about bitcoin.
Looking at alexa, apperantly the site is mostly used by american and interestingly, women. It seems to have MUCH more traffic in December as well. Rocketing from rank 500~600 during the year to rank ~200 during Christmas 2012 and 2013.
Most people tend to visit from school as well, so that means they are likely spreading the word about bitcoin at their schools as well, which would be great advertising as well.
During the year they have about 40M monthly visitors and during December about 60M
This is pretty nice.

yip good to see the adoption increase but this should drive the price lower as more Bitcoins hit the exchanges from the sale on newegg because they wont be hodling any just now i don't think. but in the long run it means more Bitcoin getting spead out to more people and maybe in time newegg can convince some of there suppliers to accept Bitcoin for payment then they can hodl on to some for that. overall good news for sure.
i think all this about bitpay/coinbase selling on exchanges is a load of crap. why would they. they would get more if they just take a couple days income of btc and bulk sell to private buyers at a premium. they would only be hurting their own business plan if they were to sell all the coins on exchanges. imo its ridiculous to think they do sell on exchanges. perhaps early on they did, but not anymore wouldnt say.
the whole purpose of bitcoin is to become a global currency; to be used, spent and traded, if there is something that is hard to understand about this concept, perhaps it's time for some people to rethink why they are here?
it's called distribution. please refrain from passive aggressive remarks - i proffered no abuse towards you.

big buyers want bulk, coinbase/bitpay have bulk but dont want to crash the market, done deal. if there is something hard to understand about that, you should learn a little about supply and demand.

Coinbase also sells BTC so they are not selling so muuuch on exchanges anyway.

BTC holders will buy new things from newegg through bitpay and more bitcoins will be converted to fiat
butthurt is real
