I just want to share some statistics about the number of attempted bitcoin purchases.
Several weeks ago I unveiled the
BTC Economy plugin, which creates a live feed out of merchandise that is for sale in the bitcoin community. Since then, over a
dozen websites have embedded the plugin.
I counted up the number of "buys" this morning. These are events where a visitor clicks the buy button in the feed. The visitors are then redirected to the appropriate bitcoin store.
196 people have clicked buy! I concede that most of these visitors probably did not buy anything. But at least a few probably did. In addition to the number of people clicking "buy", over 200 people have clicked on the referral links. And over 3000 people have clicked on at item in the feed to learn more about it.
