Simply because bitcoin's price is currently too volatile to be used as a payment of those big tech companies. I'm pretty sure companies of that caliber wouldn't want to put their company on a huge risk of losing money.

With the volatility that bitcoin has, it's better they receive their payments in btc than paying their partners in bitcoin. Would be a nice idea if Google made their own cryptocurrency and started to pay with it, because that would give so much confidence for cryptos that Bitcoin could easily hit $ 10,000. This could be interesting and might start a really new running to see who makes the better cryptocurrency, google, apple, microsoft, samsung? Who knows that? Amazon seems to have given the first step and may be the pathways of a large company fully involved to cryptos.

These companies can only make this decision when Bitcoin/Crypto currencies are regulated and properly defined as a

currency. These companies have customers in many countries all over the world and Bitcoin/Crypto currencies are banned in

some of them. Why would they accept a currency that are being banned or not properly regulated? I asked this same

question to one of the largest online gaming platforms and that was the response I got.  ::) .... I even got banned on their

forum when I mentioned Bitcoin.  :P

I had rather rephrase that as "because cryptocurrency price is volatile". Otherwise, bitcoin price is relatively stable to altcoins.

But, they can still use crypto payments as fun element for things such as bug bounty, rewards, referrals etc.

They will have a hard time calculating how much you will paid because of the price fluctuation of BTC and who want that to happen? If I am the payer then I dont want to add more work just by calculating everytime the price moves.
Plus, they would need to buy bitcoin just so they could pay you?

The price fluctuation is just too much at the moment to use bitcoin for this purpose. But if companies like Google start using bitcoin, its value will be going to new galaxies (forget the moon).

Because youtube ,paypal , google and others want to know first who send money and his address .

bitcoin is impersonality coin so you need to verify your ID before use it so when verify ID you can use youtube , google and others .

make account on some prepaid credit cards like crytopay and then verify your ID after that you can use bitcoin at any place

Post by: Frank0209 on November 06, 2017, 04:21:51 PM
Because price of Bitcoin is not stable as fiat so they don't want to use it to pay for their partners. Beside Bitcoin is not legalized worldwide moreover it's banned in few countries all over the world that mean it'll be illegal if Youtube or Google pay for people in these countries in Bitcoin and they will have to go to jail if they will be caught received Bitcoin :)). But I think in the future Youtube and Google will accept Bitcoin for payment but it'll take several years to complete.

Because they are part of the financial system as we know. They aren't the typical Bitcoin user, they are happy with the currently way they make transactions and earn money, they are fine with the profit they make. If they adopt Bitcoin some people won't like it... And they might suffer retaliations from financial system, the banks. I believe it's a worthless battle to fight for now for them.

It is a good method that now we can pay in bitcoin online without any problem. In the present time people are doing big shopping through bitcoin. As I will purchase some online games and many other things just like I will buy a website from online purchasers and I will pay bitcoin to them. the transactions are increasing day by day and the trust are developing day by day.

because bitcoin it's not commonly accpeted and regulated everywhere yet, you need first to wait for regulation and then the big guys will accept it as a payment, amazon also don't accept bitcoin for this reason, but some accept bitcoin like steam, you can make bitcoin using their services some game give you some coins

Bitcoin's value is currently facing a lot of fluctuations making official payments impossible by it because you don't really know what's the potential value of the bitcoins you paid someone with . You could have payed someone for a bitcoin value when converted to fiat 50 euros , the next day that same bitcoin could be valued as 80 euros or 30 euros . The fluctuations rates are a real roller coaster and stability is out of table when we speak of bitcoin . So it won't be used as an official payment method unless it maintains a rather stable value across time ( such as fiat currencies who have a fluctuation rate of 1-2%  max per year ) .


Title: Re: Paying using BTC
Post by: aintnopassincraze on November 06, 2017, 04:49:48 PM
Why would they when this isnt a international currency yet? That part of the world will only happen when bitcoin is recognized as international currency and that wont happen until it stabilizes further.

I'm pretty sure it's mostly due to regulatory uncertainties and less due to Bitcoin's volatility.

There's nothing that would stop Google from converting fiat to BTC at the point of payout and sending bitcoins to their publishers. Basically the reverse of what BitPay does.

Of course the exchange rate risk would then get transferred to the publisher accepting the payment. However it is safe to assume that a publisher accepting BTC payout would be willing to bear with the exchange risk as well, otherwise they wouldn't accept BTC in the first place.

Why dont google,youtube pay us with bitcoins?

Everything has its reasons maybe Google and YouTube doesn't want to consider Bitcoin as a payment because of its volatility and a never ending price hike in just a short period of time. Even me if I have a company it is so hard to think to pay my employees with Bitcoin because I may lose a huge amount of money if I will do that, comparing to dollars that the lows and highs are bearable.

Maybe in the near future this 2 huge companies will make an option to pay its workers with Bitcoins and if that day comes then the Bitcoin's price will again increase drastically just like what is happening right now.


Title: Re: Paying using BTC
Post by: Paultron on November 06, 2017, 05:12:56 PM
Maybe in the future they will agree to pay in bitcoins, but for now they like it to pay in the real currency's like dollars and euro's. I think youtube will change and they will pay in coins.

Maybe they will not we can not know but we know that bitcoin is going to change the world.

Make payment of goods or services most times have a fixed price for the goods or services, as for me, I don't think is a good idea to adopt using bitcoin as payment channel for such services google and youtube offer, because they many spend more than the normal payment option they currently offer for now.


Title: Re: Paying using BTC

When bitcoin isn't so volatile it be able to be used more commonly as an actual currency as apposed to an investment coin.


Title: Re: Paying using BTC
Post by: jackhdt on November 06, 2017, 05:42:21 PM
In fact, Google and YouTube have yet to accept bitcoin
Bitcoin has the large price fluctuations so use Bitcoin as a payment instrument very difficult to determine the amount to be paid

Now Google, Youtube and Amazon don't pay us with bitcoin. But it's  a great idea paying through bitcoin.So hopely one day they will agree to pay us using bitcoin.


Title: Re: Paying using BTC
Post by: vaughn125 on November 06, 2017, 05:51:24 PM
Well, i think it is probably because bitcoins amd all the crypto currencies as a whole are not yet that widely accepted or not yet legalized by a lot of governments. Plus these big names mostly rely on banks too much. That is why they are turning a blind eye on the growing community of crypto currency users(at least for now). But maybe years from now they will adapt and use bitcoins when it's price gains stability or get legalized by the majority of governments. Or maybe they'll make their own currency for the matter, i don't know. But still, only tme can tell.

Absolutely at this point, to take this on that payment methods won’t give good idea how it would worked. Bitcoin is still new, improvements is still needed. The market price is not stable and I don’t think it will be the soonest. Then that’s the problem how can they determine the bitcoin equivalent to something when this keep changing almost every minute. That’s need more employees just doing those tasks.


Title: Re: Paying using BTC
Post by: EtihadBitcoin on November 06, 2017, 05:54:28 PM
I would think it is due to privacy concerns.
How they know this address they are sending to is the person they are paying unless they receive some kind of proof like a signed message.
They all see this as too messy to complicate their business models in their current arcane status they are in now.
Amazon seems to be tossing around the idea of accepting this as they are offering amazon coins and the purchasing of crypto domains tied to their business name.
So who knows now.
May be soon this move by Amazon will push the others to follow as they are acting as the shield for the others. 8)

It's simple. Bitcoin is still not popular among youtube creators. I bet that if popular youtubers started asking Google for it, they would add Bitcoin payouts at least as a optional feature. I wouldn't be surprised if they bought some BTC some time ago. It would help them save a lot of money in the future due to increasing Bitcoin value.


Title: Re: Paying using BTC
Post by: Zackgeno96 on November 06, 2017, 06:47:23 PM
There is too much volatility in the price of the bitcoins, big companies will never accept the bitcoins until the prices are stable for longer time. Many country's governments has refused to regulate the bitcoins and hence companies are staying away from adopting bitcoins.


Title: Re: Paying using BTC
Post by: Cloud27 on November 06, 2017, 07:13:36 PM
In my own opinion, these two very popular names in internet world don't want to pay their users in bitcoin is simply they wanted to have their own type of cryptocurrency. Using their own created cryptocurrency will make them more popular and catches more users. Having a huge loyal users on their paying list, their cryptocurrency will have a huge impact on the cryptocurrency market.


Title: Re: Paying using BTC
Post by: UsernameBitcoin on November 06, 2017, 08:01:34 PM
It is because Bitcoin is not close to being used as a medium of exchange that way. They probably recognize that BTC has a ton of value long term and therefore they are buying it OTR. If they come out in public they will have to declare their books. If they don't make a statement then they can go about their business without any worry. So accepting and paying BTC is not what they want to do right now.


Title: Re: Paying using BTC

For sure these companies will start accepting soon.
Due to volatile nature of bitcoin , companies always play safe.

Because the price is volatile for every companies who deiced to pay. Also bitcoin is risky and it have no fix price and those big companies don't want to involve with risky tasks.Instead of getting benefit they suffered lose. Maybe in future they start but since it have no fix price so there's no chance for it .

in my opinion, its because not all country are accepted this bitcoin to be use. so why would "google and youtube" pays you if your country is prohibited this crypto-currency? and also i think they are not a bitcoin user to implement this as a mode of payment for you to made one. so the main stream there are some reason that those site are not paying because, one of that is they are not a bitcoin user, and else some other country are not yet accepted/banned this bitcoin.


Title: Re: Paying using BTC
Post by: Qiuyue201 on November 07, 2017, 06:14:18 AM
Dumb question I must say, Google don't want to pay with bitcoin to its publisher because they don't want to, they have various method that's more stable than using bitcoin which kinda fluctuative and could change the value between time, they will choose the safest method, they don't want to get complain from their publisher by paying with bitcoin but the publisher received different amount of value equal to USD.
By the way, the most important factor is because they dont want to.


Title: Re: Paying using BTC
Post by: loragean03 on November 07, 2017, 07:29:28 AM
I think its because more and more publisher are not willing to be pay bitcoin, not all people knows about bitcoin and how its really works so those sites you mentioned are not really want to get involve in bitcoin as to make a mode of payment in bitcoin, the most important thing to note is, if you want to pay you a bitcoin, do a jobs/works that related in bitcoin.

BTC is changeable as a crypto coin. On the other side money approved by governments isn't changeable that much. BTC is like stocks and all big sites wouldn't want that the payment you provided them falls in value. That would surely lead to the ruin of the big companies. That is why for now big companies don't accept BTC as the payment.

In the first place bitcoin fluctuates daily. Most businesses doesnt want to pay with bitcoin becuse of this reason. The price ups and down and most doesnt want to suffer loses in case it is required to pay in bitcoin.

These big companies are committed to the current capitalist system. Of course, it is not convenient for them to accept a currency that goes against their interests. That is why they will do everything possible to exclusively use fiat money, and only in an extreme case of massive adoption of bitcoin could they incorporate it among their options.


Title: Re: Paying using BTC
Post by: squallw on November 08, 2017, 11:19:43 PM
BTC is not so popular yet and it is so volatile for big companies.
We can't know how many people is using bitcoin, but probabily is something between 3 million ~ 10 million. We have only 300k tansaction/day and Credit Cards like Visa/Master has 150million/day. Remember, there are 7.5 Billion of people in the world, so if there are 10 million of user means that only 0.75% of people in the world is using/holding bitcoin. BTC will raise and within some years may beat all credit cards and currencies and it will be very popular.
I think that big companies will only adopt bitcoin when the value consolidate or at least has low volatility


Title: Re: Paying using BTC

The volatility is probably the major issue at the moment. They also belong to the "standard" economy.

For me here are the reasons:

1. Bitcoin is volatile - bitcoin now is really volatile that it cannot act as a currency but as an asset. Business wants something that is reliable and stable when they received something for payment.
2. Bitcoin is not that popular - yes its true that bitcoin is becoming popular now a days but not as popular to currency like dollars and the exchanges from bitcoin to local currency is hard to find in some countries.
3. Bitcoin fee is high - as of now, bitcoin fees is way too high if you will send a little amount of money.

Due to bitcoins unpredictable price increase and decrease, no big or small companies accept btc payments here in our country. It would be a big risk for them if the price will suddenly lower down or suddenly jump up especially if they will deal with suppliers that also uses bitcoin as mode of payment.

First, we had the legality issues of bitcoin on hand. It is not commonly accepted as a currency or a mode of payment in some countries that;s why I don't it's a good idea for big companies like this to advertise the use of bitcoin as payment. Second, bitcoin's price often changes with regards to the market. Its too volatile, and they won't know for sure whether the amount they paid now will either double or halved tomorrow. It's a big risk.

I think that because Bitcoin still has the weakness about transaction speed. I heard that there were $700 millions were delayed in Bitcoin transactions. That's bad. Therefore, Bitcoins developers need to improve it before it becomes a payment tool for GG or Youtube.
