“Yesterday I wondered what new insights would be revealed about Bitcoin users should Overstock.com be inclined to divulge details about its shoppers that paid using the virtual currency. As it turned out the retailer was more than happy to oblige. It provided me with a list of the top 25 categories of products that shoppers paying with Bitcoins have purchased since Overstock.com began accepting the currency for payment on Jan. 9. Overstock.com also showed me the 25 categories of items purchased overall during the same time period provided I wouldn’t print it, for competitive reasons.”
