Hello Guys !

Steam finally added bitcoin as a payment  method on steam

1)so i decided to try it and see their exchange rate that they use.....10/10...they use bitpay

2)and how long they take to proof the payment .....10/10 zero confirmations/instant

3)and how easy it was.....10/10 really easy

this is the video that shows everything

i hope videos are allowed in this section

Wow Good news yan OP ahh.. I will try this if I will have my btc hehe...

yea bro its really good news for gamers who has BTC (Like me my self, i hate selling my btc to usd then buy games, this is so much better)

i didnt get this part lol
" Try ko din yan pag may pera na ako hehe..."

haha a little mistake..  ;D 

haha okay

Finally the Bitcoin is on steam . Its good to see .
Great video thanks for sharing it with us . Steam made really easy to buy games . Now i don't need to put my credit card info .

yeaaa ikr finally !
thx for the feedback !

it's mean no additional fee when buying game on steam(e.g:exchanger fee) ,but so bad for those who selling steam games for bitcoin,
maybe they'll have a discounted items and i'll looking for it,every single thing have both good and bad side  ;D

yeah, i did that the first couple of days that i heard the news and it was new service on their site. i charged my account up full of money (steam wallet fund) and everything went smoothly and fast.

yea thats right

nice glad to hear that

Nice video, good to hear everything works flawlessly!!

thx for the feedback my friend <3

0 confirmations? ???

You'd think that that would be what steam of all companies wouldn't do. It's another way to charge back. Make a $100 transaction with no fee, use the $100 on Susan, then the network bounces back your TX. Uh oh.

i didnt get what you mean actually , but as soon as i sent the btc the game got in my inventory... thats what i meant to say.

Not always the network bounce back Transaction with 0 fees. It's a rare case however they should wait for 1 confirmation . I guess if this happens steam will seize the account and the purchased item will be gone.

I was kinda hyped when I heard that Steam is accepting bitcoins because I have no other way of adding funds to my Steam wallet because I don't have a Paypal with me (and I'm too lazy go to out and buy steam cards). So far, I haven't had any issue just like you.

Yes, that is true but this one has more good than bad, steam users now don't have to rely on third parties to buy games, which means there is 0 chance of getting scammed and as mentioned by the OP the ease of use as compared to other payment instruments is a huge plus. And like you mentioned, if someone still wants to sell games, they're going to have to do it at a discount.
AFAIK, videos are allowed in all the sections as long as they're relevant to the subject of the post.

I also did not had any problems and it was pretty easy to pay with the bitcoin for some steam games.
I think everyone could use it to pay with it because it just so easy and accessible .

niceee! good to hear that, hopefully no one get issues

I rarely buy games from steam directly now, I usually just buy an early access game that looks promising
When it comes to buying AAA games nothing beats third party sites like G2A and kinguin, their prices can be really cheap when compared to steam ;)
Though I use it for reloading my steam wallet, at least I don't need to pay overpriced wallet through third party :P
and now I just gonna wait for steam controller to be available on my country and its an instant buy with bitcoin for me :)

nice
i usually buy games from kinguin aswell, but sometimes when games on sale on steam they're cheaper than kinguin so i buy tgem from steam, and i hate to pay with my prepaid card cuz evey time i charge it they take 3$ and 0.25$ fee on each buy...rip off, but BTC 0 fees

I also already bought something with the bitcoin and I must say its working pretty well and I had no problems with the transactions on steam itself.
