This revelation came in testimony by Fred Ehrsam, co-founder of the Bitcoin exchange and wallet service Coinbase, during the second day of hearings organized by New York state’s top banking regulator to discuss the promise and peril of cryptocurrencies. ‘One great beacon here is major retailers like Overstock — and there have been others — hopping onboard,’ said Ehrsam, whose startup’s service makes it possible for Overstock to accept bitcoins in exchange for its products. ‘There are others of similar stature in the pipeline.'”
