Dell blog post from a decade ago announcing the company would accept #Bitcoin, even offering 10% off a new Alienware system purchase when checking out with bitcoin.
Does this discount make Dell the first "Bitcoin Preferred" company?
The real question is... did they hodl?

As of 10/10/2017 - no longer accepting due to low demand.
Will #bitcoin ever truly induce “high demand”? My guess is no because it incentivizes saving over spending which fundamentally changes the way we spend out money.
Why would I give up my #btc for the latest shiny toy when my existing shiny toy still works?
Maybe with bitcoin the market tendency readjust to a less degenerated society and less focused on consuming. But we still need to buy goods and servicies so bitcoin can be still used as money. We are still early
Agreed, the point being, #bitcoin encourages financial responsibility. Deflation doesn’t cause people to stop eating, it forces people to choose more carefully what they spend on
