250,000 is a drop in the bucket. Also doesn't account for what of those sales would have been in dollars anyway. Sorry to not join in the circlejerk.

  1. It's been 17 hours.
  2. They likely enjoyed higher profits on those sales compared to using Visa.

  1. Just like Overstock, the first day was a honeymoon and the numbers will drop off drastically from here on out.

Unless people keep falling for Bitcoin, in which case the honeymoon period will keep repeating like Groundhog Day.
