What does that have to do with the fact that Overstock.com accepting Bitcoin is literally increasing Bitcoin adoption and making more items available for purchase via Bitcoin, prompting other companies to follow suit?

Presumably Overstock.com is a reputable company, and they would honor their guarantees, so I would feel safe sending them Bitcoin.

I wouldn't give my credit card information out to some untrusted third party that I was unsure of their sending me the products.

Just because the credit card industry has created a massive protection racket in North America doesn't mean it must continue to exist.

There are plenty of business' who cannot take credit card purchases because of possible chargebacks.
