Bitcoins in Steam coming soon...

https://np.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/44sgnm/bitcoins_in_steam_coming_soon/

The service has over 125 million active users.


Huge deal if true!  :o

-----------------------------------

http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2016-02/09/valve-accept-bitcoin-steam

people should remember that g2a already offer bitcoin as a payment, and you can find basically every game there with also a better discout

but it's a nice addition nonetheless

nothing against g2a but Steam is a gorilla in the gaming industrie - that is a another league.

G2A (or any other website) don't have skins or in-game items , so BTC is still a great option .
I'm little bit disappointed though , I mean I thought that after seeing that news , price should start going UP already but nothing really happened .

Doesn't seem like it to me. They never showed much interest in having Bitcoin, and they could have already implemented it long time ago. Where's the screenshot on reddit from?

yes, but it is more than a rumor. iam sure they will add it in the next months.

The availability of games for bitcoin is not the big thing here. Is is the potential exposure that bitcoin will get in a community that is not scared of technology and spending money. I think gamers will be the next round of adopters to get in to the bitcoin game and steam showing the bitcoin logo on the transaction page is good for this.

Kinguin offer it. Even if that's still a bit marginal, without the possibility to directly buy the skin you want (you buy random skins from a certain quality, it has his pros and cons), that's still a possibility that you have. What could be really cool would be if beside your fiat money in your account, you could have your wallet money, and that would mean that someone who's good at CS:GO could sell his skins to win some bitcoins. However, I'm not sure if it will be possible for us to withdraw our bitcoins. If we would be unable, that would kill all the charm :-\.

I can buy bath salts on Steam now? :o

Well if this true..may will turn to bitcoins in buying wallet instead of paying via CC..BTC payment will be cheap and fastest way to fund steam wallet

So far it is not confirmed rumor. We don't have official announcement of Steam actually accepting BTC payment.
But I am sure if that info is right then bitcoin price will gonna go through the roof. Just wait.

It is deffinatly true, and a really great adpotion for both bitcoin and steam, how can they lose lets be honest..... ;D

and have weak lines and servers ... too.
try to "retrieve" the update to play the first a game, it's epic.

Im so excited for this, I didn't believe it at first, because the creator of Valve (Gave Newel) said that he didn't want Bitcoin on Steam not a long ago, so now if he has really changed his mind, you can expect millions coming to Steam in Bitcoin form because its way more convenient than messy credit card payments.

The price wouldn't increase if Steam or other big websites adopt it but only if there is some really big news/controversies like the auction last year which helped the price shoot up by $200. We should be happy that now atleast bitcoins are being treated as a valid payment mode.

If Steam confirmed that they would start accepting Bitcoin, you could expect for the price to go up because there would be more people who would start using Bitcoin as a payment method, since it is an alternative and fairly easy to get currency. Even younger people might flock to this board to start earning Bitcoin so they don't have to use their parents' credit card, but it all comes down to how willing people are to work.

i hope that all countries will soon be allowed to pay with bitcoins for the games, i cant wait for this to happen

so, when the major seller of the world for games (indeed, software game, spread like virus) ... use Bitcoin, it's not increase :
- users
- transactions
- wallets
- buyers
- price

Have you read graph in your life ?

This is perfectt !! This would be fostering and introduction it sounds great  ;)

Thats a good news, following this other competes also will add bitcoin payment. The best part is even who are much interested in gaming and unaware of bitcoin will know about the alternative. More user will be added to bitcoin through such sites.

This is great news!

Steam is definitely a huge monster and helps with free advertising
also. Now someone that plays and uses steam may take a payment
using bitcoin knowing they can use it.

I am so happy for bitcoins as it's getting more recognition these days. With the number of brands accepting bitcoins, I'm sure Amazon, Dominos and other online shopping portals would recognize it and I would be able to pay with bitcoins directly instead of buying gift cards on purse.

Adding Bitcoin to such a big platform of gamers like Steam will help it become more mainstream worldwide and promote good business practices.

Same here as Steam is one of the biggest gaming websites. After walmart and starbucks, this news is so good to hear and a positive sign for bitcoins. Just waiting for banks too to adopt bitcoins and make it legal now as then trading would be easier just like shares.

i also got that news from email,this https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/leak-valve-is-bringing-bitcoin-payments-to-steam/
is that really happen soon?this is will great :)

OMGSH.... if thats true.. the price will sky rocket like anything...

and for gamers like me it will be awesome.. we already own beast graphics cards... mine some.. purchase item.. trade big.. GG WP


if its true.. must buy bitcoins and hold

this sounds as a good news for all bitcoin users his could make bitcoin jump back to 400 $

This would be pretty big if not huge. It would not only spread bitcoin awareness to millions, but it would also show to those already aware of it, but still skeptical, that bitcoin is definitely legit.

it will be huge, imagine that you can fund your steam wallet with BTC and the items bought using BTC will be instantly available for trading since it is not bought using CC

If that happens then it seems really chill for many people.
I also think that people want to include. According to me it makes a lot of people also happy.

It would sure make my day if btc were made a payment option at Steam. I would like to buy games when I want when I have some btc instead of

waiting for times when the debit card has something on it.

Steam is a big name with large user database. So it looks like big companies are starting using Bitcoins or are they one of the kind companies who dare to change.

i am going to buy so much games with my bitcoins as soon as it starts.

I thought the same way, but so far I see price is not going up. It is stagnant and even dropped a little.
I guess unconfirmed rumors are not enough to cause any rise of bitcoin's price.

Even with the best gaming cards your mining profits will be so low that this is not worth a shot.
Nothing can compete with dedicated ASIC in terms of mining efficiency, CPU or GPU mining days are gone.

It sound good, but If I were them I would create own cryptocurrency.

This sounds like a good service,but then again there is services like kinguin and G2A that allow you to get games at a huge discount and allow you to pay with bitcoin,cc,paypal,etc.But if steam where to take bitcoin then this might influence bitcoins value.

Valve looks set to offer new ways to buy content on its PC gaming platform Steam, with hints of bitcoin payments found in the client's translation servers.

Although Valve has yet to make an announcement, strong evidence was found by reddit user Haoose and screencapped here.

Rather than directly trading bitcoins through Steam, it appears Valve will be using the third-party BitPay. This hypothetically saves Valve from having to do any internal conversion or calculation based on bitcoin's current market value, and should make transactions smoother.

http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2016-02/09/valve-accept-bitcoin-steam

for me this is the best news that i have heard in many years.
i was always waiting for a good way that i really like, to spend my bitcoins. now if steam starts accepting bitcoin i would have the best option for spending them.

if its true it might be a huge deal. as gamers seems to be the group of people that might adopt bitcoins in my opinion so getting it on steam has a huge market for growth.

the fact that steam is planning on adding bitcoin payment system to their service shows that there is enough requests for it. because they will not add an extra option just to make things confusing for their users if nobody had asked for it.

it is going to be a huge "first step" for other big companies to start noticing bitcoin and maybe over time , if Steam was successful other will follow in the footsteps and make bitcoin payments as popular as paypal.

When the is going to happen?
Is this only a story or we have real evidence?
This could be groundbreaking!

it is definitely a great development for bitcoin and its growth as more people come to know about this as its included into the steam platform, no doubt that bitcoin is included by popular demand but it helps in getting more exposure for sure

It's still very early, but it will not take a lot of time consider that Steam is just only going to use Bitpay as a gateway to get BTC payments accepted and possibly auto convert to USD again, so it will be pretty fast technically, ho long do they take to make the official statement is another story.

Steam will probably pilot the Bitcoin payment project within the USA and if everything is okay with the service they will expand it to other countries soon enough fingers crossed.

i hope that all people will be allowed to check out with bitcoins in order to buy some games on steam

i agree, steam is a huge platform, almost every gamer uses steam and it adopting bitcoin will definitely lead to a higher use rate for bitcoin. would be great for the bitcoin economy.

but that would a big start.

it does not matter that they start from US because they will expand their service to other countries if it becomes successful.

it will just take time. we have to be patient.

So this can mean large adaptation of bitcoin.
We have many gamers that using their services?
Some of them will probably will be interested when they see bitcoin as possibility of payment. :D

Anyone knows when this will be up? Kinda been looking forward for this coming Steam summer sale.

from what i have read in this topic and the links on reddit, it is in the rumor stage. so there is no official announcement of when it is going to come.

I am so glad to hear about this news and it is a good success for bitcoin as well since it is becoming popular every where around the globe and people are getting to know bitcoins more than last year.

I doubt it could mean large adoption if Bitcoin is added to Steam. Bitcoin cannot handle much more users than today, so it could be actually disaster if Steam added Bitcoin and only small part of Steam users let say about 10 million users tried to purchase games with Bitcoin. The Bitcoin Blocks would be filled all the time and not all users transactions could ever be processed! Now imagine the huge negative response: Bitcoin proved it cant work when Steam added it as payment option and half of 10 million gamers cannot get their transactions go even trough ! End of Bitcoin then? :-[

What the hell is it with all these companies being US only? It's crazy. The whole point of accepting bitcoins is to open up to people who otherwise wouldn't be able to play.

it's very good news, but from reddit this news still rumor and no officially announce from valve
if the thing really exist, maybe we just use bitcoin directly from our online wallet

Is this still happening?

Still can't find the BTCBTCBTC option in adding wallet funds, so I suppose it didn't happen yet. There are steam wallet codes for sale in BTCBTCBTC though, peeps might want to search for that in the meantime.

Reddit rumors are everything but realiable.
I think last time they said BTC would be in Amazon, but many time has passed and no signs of it so far

That's good. Maybe they can add Bitcoin soon,
So everyone can buy that's monster game very easy.

If Steam accepted bitcoin and started advertising it on their main store page, I can say without a doubt that bitcoin will shoot up. Steam has a huge userbase of cybee-geared users, which will also be great.

If Bitcoin comes to Steam in Europe this will probably be the death of me because I am already buying too many games I don't even play with cash on Steam now imagine the shopping spree I would go on if Bitcoin is involved. I have a backlog of games I need to play and no time at all. Gaben hits all the right bases with the constant discounts and holiday deals that sleazy bastard  ;D

Are people going to buy btc just to spend on Steam?... What's the chances of Steam holding coins?
I get the extra exposure... Just not the price increase if it's a quick cash out from Steam.

Good news to the gaming sector :)

This is a great news i played dota2 and i would like to buy stuff there but i dont have credit card if steam adapt bitcoin then i can buy clothes for my favorite character.

Good news that one of the biggest gaming company/software in the industry is going to accept Bitcoin. It has been two months and I really hope that they are still considering to accept Bitcoin. However, I do not expect much use of it since Bitcoiners can already buy almost all popular Steam game at third part stores such as Key4Co.in and IndieGala. To add on, third party stores give more discount often.

Well, this feature will only make life easier for these who want to play games that are not in third party stores or don't trust third party stores at all.

Yeah same here, i also dota 2 player. If steam accepted bitcoin soon, it will be a big news to me. So i don't need to buy steam wallet with my credit card. Using bitcoin is more easily to do that.

That is indeed good nice, than there will be also more people that is going to use Bitcoin because they want to pay with Bitcoin later in steam and that can be nice and great.
So they both will be also more used and that is nice, many people wants to pay in steam with Bitcoin.

If steam will have a payment system using bitcoin i can now buy some arcanas for my dota2 account.

I hope steam will accept the bitcoin soon because I really love to pay with the bitcoin and its also very sweet and easy.
Most likely they will do this soon because the fact that steam is mostly very soon with accepting new currency's (payment methods..

Really awesome news from op,  we people will get more scope in future because of this steam.
Even I didn't thought these much of active users from bitcoin community.

This is going to be a good thing for Bitcoin to penetrate the gaming industry. They are doing the same thing that they have done with these gambling sites.
Steam is huge in the gaming community and with them making use of Bitcoin can attract more people to Bitcoin.

Nice news, amazing news! but when they want really implement this form of payment?

It's funny to see that some people think that Steam has already started or will get started to accept Bitcoin soon.

It's nothing more than speculation at this point. Don't count your profits too early guys.

I'm not believing anything of this untill I see that Steam is actually accepting Bitcoin as payment tool.

Its nice to know that.. Hmmm i think there is possibility that more gamers is interested now in bitcoin now ..

You are partly right but I think it will soon or later, most likely it will in a couple months, I also saw something about it on the steam forums.
I just think there is a good chance it will because its also early and fast with new payment methods.

Actually it's not a speculation Valve wants to run a beta test within the US Steam shop and then they will expand the feature to other parts of the world. As I am not a US citizen I can't participate but I have seen screenshots of people being able to buy games directly from Steam with Bitcoin.

now its already walk through..gamer now can use bitcoin for buying steam,its old post and still famouc,i know people here are gamer,and i pretty sure people in my country will glad to knowing that steam can pay with bitcoin..

Well well well well well, now that's some big news.

If this actually happens it might skyrocket bitcoin prices. There is a huge amount of betting and trading going on there.

This is a huge deal steam has a pretty big audience and users that make use of steam. Being able to pay with Bitcoins at steam is going to give Bitcoin a huge popularity boost.

The steam has finally made its major move by making bitcoin as part of their payment system.
The news about this will help bitcoin to be more recognize by many people this is really one great news.

ah sad story mate ;D i suggest you to prepare sell some gems or all your gems,its will make you better. i'm sure steam will accept bitcoin soon,so many people wish  for that,you can't deny that.

https://twitter.com/SteamDB/status/723230754113724416 (https://twitter.com/SteamDB/status/723230754113724416)

Steam accepting Bitcoin is coming soon guys!!
As a passionate gamer this is something I will definitely try out when available!!!

http://fs5.directupload.net/images/160421/wyfw77iy.jpg (http://www.directupload.net)

Not to put too much of a downer on it, but it should be noted that SteamDB aren't affiliated with Valve, so we shouldn't technically consider this an official announcement just yet.  The dev group the image is sourced from is private, so it's difficult to verify its authenticity with absolute certainty.  It does look promising, though.

More gamers now want to know how to get bitcoin, Now more seller in steam wallet are interested here , im pretty sure they want to try how to get, how to gain profit in bitcoin. Now my friends they pm me hehe they want me to sell some bitcoin with discount but i dont want haha, I want them to try how hard to get free bitcoin haha

It's starting to pop up on other game sites, things are starting to look more legitimate now, but I'm not holding my breath until I see a Bitcoin logo in the payment methods list as usual with this sort of thing.

http://themerkle.com/steam-update-confirms-impending-bitcoin-integration/

Bitcoin added, Valve is using BitPay.

OMG Bitcoin is added guys I am seeing it right now from Europe!!!  :o I am so excited now I can't contain my enthusiasm I am going to purchase a bunch of games I may end up not playing at all but who cares this is a great achievement for the whole Bitcoin community. Damn I didn't expect it to happen so soon  ;D

That is big for bitcoin, too bad they don't hold bitcoins only resell it at once for FIAT.
But its smth still, huge company accepting bitcoin :)

Awesome news, but i cant seam to be able to top up my steam balance with my bitcoins.

When i go to Payment method -->Please select a payment method >> I just get the usual deposit options like paypal, american express, skrill .. but no bitcoin ?!
Anyone tried topping up their balance with btc , that can confirm it actually works ?

 

It seems that they have already disabled it.

Wow that is pretty nice, thanks for informing me, I really like to pay with the bitcoin on steam to be honest.
I think its pretty nice also that its getting possible.

This will not end well for my finances

Very good news, a lot of gamers could use bitcoins on steam. I have seen a video on reddit, one user showing how it works.

Only a few months left until the steam summer sale, is your wallet prepared?

In all seriousness, this is actually a big step towards mainstream adoption. A large and very-well know company will start using Bitcoin, and in a more active way, and this could result in more people getting interested in ways to earn or buy it, continuing to drive the value and growth of the community.

This is a big and excited news for gamer, hopefully another big site is going to follow steam to adopt bitcoin, now its the time for me to prepare my wallet,cant wait to try this service

*Pulls out Ledger wallet*
https://i.imgflip.com/133u9g.jpg
Wait a minute... It's only out in Europe and US!

*Puts Ledger wallet back in pocket*



Fuuuuuuuccc....

awww, why does it have to be like this Gaben? Why don't you put it worldwide? :-[

Is it because of the third-party payment system? Bitcoins should be accepted worldwide, not only US and Europe only.

Guess we have to wait until it's released worlwide.

This is very good news. companies such as steam will use bitcoin. This is evidence of the growing and broad acceptance among bitcoin. I believe this year will present some of the company's e-commerce which will follow progress of steam. bitcoin has been great and it's time a new era started.

it's a evidence of shit. it's nothing. Overstock accepts BTC since 1 year ago and they only had few transaction. That's why you didn't buy games via Steams until now? Because they didn't accept BTC?  ;D ;D ;D

"Bitcoin Accepted" already happened... now waiting for the consumers to start using bitcoins and treat it as the real money.

Where could you even pay with bitcoins? I don't see the option yet

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4gfd5o/just_added_10_to_steam_via_bitcoin_easy/d2h8ixv

u deposit them to account then u can pay

I don't see the option to do so when depositing funds,is it available in the USA right now and the mac?

Read what HostFat (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1358623.msg14664987#msg14664987) posted above ^. The payment option will be re-enabled tomorrow, checkout this first ever bitcoin transaction Bitcoin Transaction (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nvz4o10fGFI).

I hope lord Gaben will make it true cause i am using steam often and it will be so good for me if i can pay with bitcoins. I am playing dota 2 and cs:go so mirco payments with bitcoin will be so good.

well, i don't think "micro-transaction" comes in play in this case. things you want to buy are not cheap and i find that it is so much easier to fill the steam wallet with money and spend that. so you can place $10-$80 in your steam wallet and then spend on buying things that way.

It has already came out in BETA, a new change in BTC..

Yep me too, It was very hard for me to buy steam wallets here in our country, Steam wallets are very few here, I hope the rumors wll be posible

If that will happen than it would be nice indeed and that is because many people wants to buy their games also with Bitcoin because they use Bitcoin as their payment method.
And you also make it both more popular and that would be perfect for both.

Wait I didn't know it was launched only for customers in the USA and Europe as I myself am from Europe and I took it for granted that Valve had made Bitcoin available worldwide with this update. It's a pity that folks in other countries won't be able to take advantage of this. Do you know if Valve is planning to expand this to other continents? By the way the Russian players on Steam can't use Bitcoin as it's banned in their country right? Anyone from Russia can confirm?

Yeah I agree completely, this is going to be good for both Steam and Bitcoin. Because of this partner ship they can now share the amount of users they both have.
Maybe some Steam users come over to Bitcoin and some Bitcoin users go over to Steam.

Been hearing alot of exciting stuff from reddit which turns out to be a hoax later.

I won't be believing it until steam post it officially in their group or in news.

For those that are interested, this is how it looks like when you want to deposit funds (http://store.steampowered.com/steamaccount/addfunds).

https://i.imgur.com/3sQ5JH9.png

Deposit funds? So we will have to send some BTC first to our Steam account and then pay the games with that?
I thought it would be more simple, just send the BTC directly after doing a checkout.

Yes. Correct.

This is how it currently looks like. Obviously, there might be changes especially after the update. I don't see how that is 'much simpler'.

You can do either way man. If you want to purchase a game, just choose the game you want, add to cart and pay.

If you want to deposit and use it for later use like buying in-game stuff like keys or cases or skins etc.

But, I can't see bitcoin option in my steam. I only see Visa, Mastercard and Skrill here. (Or maybe it's not available in my country yet)

So isn't it going to be prone to the price volatility of Bitcoin because we still value the game price with fiat? or the amount of bitcoin we deposited will be changed to fiat amount at the time of the transaction? please enlighten me...

By the way, i see no bitcoin option as a mode of payment. It seems that it is only available in US and Europe.

It won't be affected by volatility because it will be instantly converted. IIRC Valve has stated that they would not be holding Bitcoins at any time.

Whatever the currency you deposit, it will automatically convert to your local currency and the amount will remain as the exchange rate at the time of that deposit.

Example: You deposited 1BTC in steam when the value of 463.4USD. Your account will be updated as 463.4USD (if you are from US. If not, it will be converted to your local currency)
              Even if the BTC price rises or drops, your account balance will still remain as 436.4USD.

Maybe just purchase a game directly with BTC, but never think of depositing with BTC. You'll end up crying like a baby if the BTC price rises to sky again.

BTW, I don't think that screenshot is from US steam account. Language looks different.

nothing for me, there is no bitcoin payment available, is this the only way to add fund via bitcoin?

i heard that bitcoin payments will be up again tomorrow on steam

The First EVER Bitcoin Transaction Through Steam

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nvz4o10fGFI

Is it already added? I really want to try buy smth in steam with bitcoin. Thank you lord Gaben for this!! Need to test it faser really.

It's back on now (https://i.imgur.com/5wUrkJh.jpg), takes zero conf after you hit transfer - Easy & Instant. Give it a try yourself.. GL.  :)

Yes it is added, I just checked and it's there in my steam.

more and more big companies accepting Bitcoin, good days are coming for BTC lovers  ;D

I have learn that most of the thing about bitcoins are rumor, so everyone should becareful about any sites. but in my view, it will be true, because now halving is coming so most of the people like to use halving, so you can say that bitcoin in steam.....   

Its officially on now, thats a big step forward for Bitcoin when a big company start accepting it. If more big other companies will implement it too, plus the halving taking place the price should be on the rise (it is already, near 500 USD per bitcoin now). Good days are coming for the Bitcoin users and more beautiful days for the holders.

yes i also hope that country will be allowed to pay bitcoin for the games , and it will be good for the user of bitcoin and it will be more easy for the user of bitcoin .

this is awsome news , love the news when it was a rumor but had some doubts it was real nice to see that it was!

This is going to benefit them both, people that use Steam might get interested in Bitcoin and might even invest in to. It also goes for the other way around maybe Bitcoin users go over to Steam and buy a couple of games. 

is there an advantage in using bitcoin for steam? For ex. are prices globally equal in bitcoin?

Not everyone has a mastercard, bitcoins are easier to get, but there are other options that are more convenient (like paysafe, because you can buy it everywhere), thats the thing all those bitcoin startups were supposed to do but didn't.

It is perfect that Steam is going to accept Bitcoin because you also see now that there will be more people that is using Bitcoin as their payment method and that is nice for Steam itself.
So you are making it both more popular so that is nice but the value have also to rise.

Not if you have a credit card.

BTC exchange rate is calculated by averaging BTC price @ major exchanges, will be displayed @ check out. So I guess yeah.

Ok, if that is the case then it is actually quite a big thing

even in that case. i give no data to steam (cc fraud) and it is easier and faster to pay in bitcoin. i know it because i do it  ;)

It's already in Steam for week maybe, a lot of videos on youtube about - "My first paymebt with bitcoin" or smth like this. So go to steam and try to get smth with bitcoin!
'

As long as you mine your own coin, I suppose. If you have to buy BTC, I don't think so.

Exchange: must provide personal info, pay fees, wasted time (hassle of funding, which itself may involve additional fees).
Localbitcoin: Hefty premium over spot, safety risk, time.
Bitcoin vending machines ("ATM"): Hefty premium over spot, time.

Re. CC fraud: Unlike BTC tx, you get your money back.

Steam here also in our country philippines accepting bitcoin as payment also garena or league of legends you can buy shells using bitcoin.. and i  think more store here in my country will be accepting bitcoin as payment..

i have to reveal my ID to the exchange but not to Steam or any of the 100 porns sites which i (maybe) visit  ;)
and the good thing is: Bitcoin price went up and i get 40% more for my money now.

I didn't realise that Riot was accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment for their game now, when did they start doing that?

I expect that steam is going to start drafting their Bitcoin payment program to more countries sooner than later, so we'll see how that all works out. It seems like they've got a good system going for them, and I think they could make a lot of money if they continue to expand it.

OMG I just know this information.lol Im very excited finally steam added bitcoin for payment it is more easier for me than using 3rd party site. Thanks for this thread

I just got the message only in our wallet coins.ph that they are now accepting bitcoin to buy shells or riot points.. also the steam.. jsut receive it in my email.. i dont know to other country if they are also accepting bitcoin as payment..

This is great new for bitcoin most likely leading more people to use it. Bitcoin will soon be on every gaming platform it's already got g2a and now it's getting steam.

It wasn't really hard to use 3rd party websites, it was just a minor inconvenience and sometimes there were problems (i.e. delays). The niche market for those websites is gone now though. I'm waiting for Amazon to do this so that I don't have to purchase gift cards for Bitcoin from middlemen anymore.

It is already on Steam.

In my wallet in our country you can convert your bitcoin in steam wallet so Steam is here now in bitcoin but i dont know what is the use of it. I want online games but i dont know what is the use of steam wallet, what happen if you have steam wallet? It use for buying tools in online games or you can earn in online games using steam wallets? Please tell me.

How about you rather start using steam and reading some FAQ's  (https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=1122-RTSC-0478)rather than asking such questions? Basically the idea behind is that you don't have to pay at each game purchase but can load your 'wallet' with a certain amount of money that can be spent at a latter date. I have never heard anything about 'earning in online games' with steam wallets. You could try selling in-game items (e.g. CS:GO) for money on the marketplace though.

woohoo!I can't wait. Finally! Well i already have steam so if it is coming out that would be great

I'm happy that they themselves are actually accepting bitcoin (should drive adoption rates in the demographic that uses Steam products heavily), but the ability to purchase Steam content with bitcoin has been around for a while now in the form of various services and stored value cards that can be purchased with bitcoin.

Been pretty out of the loop regarding Bitcoin and Steam... Just turned Steam on and I see they've already added the payment method! Already bought a game for the weekend :)

It was not the same thing. We have bitcoin debit and credit floating around - and with these it is possible to virtually buy anything, but that doesn't mean we are closer to real bitcoin use.
This time is full direct Steam adoption and with over 100 millions users bitcoin payments could be noticed by gaming crowd.

Now it has been finally introduced definitly. That's nice that it wasn't another invented rumor.

Here in philippines you can already buy SWC( Steam wallet codes) online using coinsph app.But there is a big fees here.But im still looking for buying steam wallet codes or games directly to steam and hoping for less fees.It will be good for online gamers that use bitcoins for online transactions and as online banks.That will be so good for us.

Bitcoin is going to be more acceptable as you can see indeed and that is so nice for the currency itself and it is also nice to see that Steam and Bitcoin will works together.
So you can earn some more money with it and that would be really nice and spend it also more.

Its indeed nice they steam is now accepting the bitcoin, I hope it will more popular but this will happen soon or later without any doubts.
Its just a matter of time before people will use the bitcoin for steam.

A lot of people where skeptics about Steam accepting Bitcoin and as we can see, they have been proven wrong. When the next big mogul starts giving hints into the direction of a Bitcoin acceptance, the skeptics will also be proven wrong again, and what's worse, will be late to the party again. I guess until Bitcoin isn't accepted in every store in the planet, a lot of people will still stay in the denial stage.

I'm surprised you just uprooted that up. This thread was created when Steam proposed the use of bitcoins and now, it has been in Steam for nearly a month now. Nearly.
I agree with you though. Bitcoin will someday be the currency in the virtual world and somehow be adopted in the physical world.
