Overstock.com, Inc. OSTK is an online retailer based in Salt Lake City, Utah that sells a broad range of products at low prices, including furniture, décor, rugs, bedding, and home improvement. Medici Ventures, Overstock.com, Inc.'s blockchain accelerator, recently announced that portfolio company Bitsy.com will allow public access to the beta version of its exchange and wallet service beginning Monday, November 12th, 2018. Bitsy's new app-based platform creates a remarkably easy, secure, and user-friendly bridge between bitcoin and the US Dollar. "The great promise of the Bitcoin white paper was to have legitimate peer-to-peer exchange of value without the need for trusted intermediaries. Few people understand, however, that with conventional Bitcoin wallets, users do not have actual possession or control of the Bitcoins they buy: their wallet-provider owns the Bitcoin and provides a contractual claim to the consumer, who must then trust that corporation. This defeats the whole purpose of crypto. Bitsy wallets, on the other hand, allow users to possess and have complete control of their cryptocurrency without the risk of lost keys. This sets a new standard for digital wallets," said Patrick M. Byrne, Overstock.com Chief Executive Officer and Founder. "We are excited to continue our cryptocurrency journey and integrate Bitsy's technology with Overstock.com to offer bitcoin for sale directly from the retail site in the first half of 2019."

"HPE has been at the forefront of developing technologies and services for the Intelligent Edge, and with this investment, we are accelerating our ability to drive this growing category for the future."
