CEO Patrick Byrne had told us and others the launch wouldn't come for another few months.


Byrne now tells us that last week, they decided to reach out to Coinbase.com, one of the largest Bitcoin payment processors. They said that with a dedicated team at Overstock they would be able to launch within a week. And they did.



If a company the size of Overstock can set up it's entire infrastructure to accept BTC in such a little time frame, this shows how easy it actually is to adopt and use BTC for internet purchases.
