“In its first 22 hours accepting the digital currency, Overstock tells us, it accepted 800 orders in bitcoin, and they were worth a total of about $126,000. The company nabbed $5,000 in bitcoin orders in the first 30 minutes alone, and about $10,000 in the first two hours. That’s not an enormous haul, but judging from the company’s yearly revenue, it could be as much as 4 percent of its average daily sales, and it shows there’s a vibrant bitcoin community that’s interested not only in using the digital currency as an investment, but in actually spending it. That will be crucial to the future of this still very young technology.”
