Overstock.com Offers Employees All-Bitcoin Paychecks

Overstock.com demonstrated a surprisingly high level of commitment to digital currencies Friday with the news that it's planning to offer its employees the option of being paid in bitcoin. The discount online retailer made the announcement in a release about a new bitcoin ATM that it has installed at its corporate headquarters in Salt Lake City. "Moving cryptocurrencies out of the realm of geeks and into the realm of the rest of us requires making changes at all levels of the financial ecosystem," Chief Executive Patrick Byrne said in the release.
