"US online electronics retailer Newegg teased the introduction of Bitcoin payments on its platform early this year, and now the company has finally delivered via a partnership with BitPay. From today onwards, Newegg is\u00A0letting its more than 25 million registered customers pay for over 10.5 million products using the\u00A0cryptocurrency.\r\n\r\nThis is a pretty notable deal because Newegg is a big name in the US consumer space. The company is estimated to be worth $3 billion, with\u00A0Forbes reporting that it\u00A0turned over\u00A0$2.8 billion in sales back in 2012. Newegg said it is introducing Bitcoin payments as a response to customers' needs, given that &amp;quot;Newegg's customers are among some of the earliest Bitcoin miners and are enthusiastic proponents of the crypto-currency.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nNewegg's move comes hot on the heels of the state of California just legalizing the use of Bitcoin and other digital currencies.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 Bitcoin Accepted [Newegg]\r\n\r\nThumbnail image via George Frey/Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
