Off Topic: Is anyone else creeped out by having an open ledger? As soon as I transact with someone or an entity, they now have access to view my wallet's holding/transactions via pub key. I don't know how I feel about Overstock having that information.

You never use the same address twice. scatter received coins over other addresses.
The fees to move the coins to another wallet just to pay for coffee would be 4x the coffee.
you don't have to pay fees to transfer to yourself, assuming there is no rush.
Like all tech it's a double edged sword.
