Spend Your Bitcoins At NewEgg Without Buying Gift Cards!
As the acceptance of Bitcoin is growing, so does the amount of companies that offer BTC payments as a viable alternative. NewEgg isn’t just another retailer that offers BTC as another payment option. This retailer offers items from automotive products to watches and jewelry and has nearly 3 Billion dollar in sales. According to Forbes, NewEgg is the largest private retailer.

In earlier articles we have given some pointers why there is such a “negative image” created around everything Crypto related. For example : the trade of illegal goods, like drugs, and the shutdown of Silk Road by the US government. That way; the US seized all of the Bitcoins that had belonged to Silk Road.
