Impressive. You managed to turn the most positive news for Bitcoin into a post about the "collapse of the Bitcoin economy", through a very flimsily constrcted series of assumptions. There should be like a new version of Godwin's law wherein all positive Bitcoin news will lead to its collapse in three steps.
But slg raised interesting questions. That was the first thing I thought about as well after reading the article: will Dell (and other companies) keep the bitcoins? Rather not, the Coinbase will convert them to dollars immediately.
Because it smells like a manipulative post. The goal (it seems) is not to discuss the topic, but to deformm the opinion of the readers and the general mood of the thread.
If you want an answer, it is easy: companies like coinbase or bitpay know very well what they are doing, and participate in the market in ways that minimise the exposure risk. OP does not deserve to be top post in a site that is supposed to have quality debate like HN.
